Automation & Workflows
Low-code
Building software with visual tools plus a smaller amount of custom code.
Example
A developer assembles an internal app visually and adds a small amount of code.
Why it matters
It speeds up common development work while leaving room for features that need custom programming.
You'll hear it
“The standard blocks cover most of it; this step needs custom code.”
Can you control it?
Sometimes
Sometimes. Some products or workflows let you influence low-code, while others keep it fixed or manage it automatically. Check the settings and documentation for the tool you are using.
Common questions
- Is low-code only for developers?
- Not always. Business users may build simpler parts while developers handle the more complex work.
- Can a small code change break the visual workflow?
- Yes. Custom behavior still needs checking against the steps and information around it.
- Does it remove the need for testing?
- No. Visual components and custom code can both behave differently from what the builder intended.
