Abstract : Low-code and no-code (LCNC) platforms have emerged as transformative technologies in modern software development. These platforms enable users to design and deploy applications with minimal or no programming knowledge through visual interfaces, drag-and-drop components, and pre-built modules. The growing demand for rapid digital transformation, limited availability of skilled developers, and increasing need for faster application deployment have accelerated the adoption of LCNC tools across industries. Organizations are increasingly leveraging these platforms to reduce development time, optimize costs, and improve business agility. Studies indicate that LCNC solutions can significantly shorten development cycles and allow non-technical users to participate in application development, often referred to as “citizen developers.” However, despite their advantages, these platforms also present challenges such as scalability limitations, security risks, vendor lock-in, and restricted customization capabilities. This research examines the impact of LCNC platforms on software development practices by analyzing existing literature, identifying key benefits and challenges, and evaluating their role in shaping the future of software engineering. The study concludes that while LCNC platforms will not completely replace traditional development methods, they will play a crucial complementary role in accelerating innovation, democratizing development, and improving organizational efficiency.
