Abstract

In the field of software development, the processes, technologies, and practices have matured over the time to achieve a higher level of delivery and quality. However, the de- velopment phase, which is an essential part of the software development life cycle (SDLC), is still consuming a significant cost (time and resources) in both approaches, waterfall and agile. The reason behind that, current technologies and approaches of software develop- ment are somehow following the same rules and practices for decades, and have not evolved with the proper velocity over the time. In this article, and based on real-life case studies, we will discuss how the utilization of components re-usability (API’s and frameworks), metadata-driven development, code generation, and Artificial Intelligence can make the software development more efficient by creating a holistic approach to creating software systems.

Keyphrases: agile, history, low code, no code, rapid application development, software development, waterfall
