Comparative study of three Low-Code No-Code Frameworks
Summary
Constant pressure on businesses to innovate and improve efficiency in order to remain competitive has led to a shortage of software developers. This in turn has led to an increase in popularity of Low-Code No-Code frameworks (LCNC). LCNC frameworks are easy to use, visual drag-and-drop development platforms that enable employees with domain knowledge to develop applications without a proper programming background (citizen developers). This study assessed how three different LCNC frameworks, SAP Build, Mendix and Neptune compare based on a quantification method of their feature set. Furthermore, the strengths and weaknesses of these LCNC frameworks are determined and analysed based on their impact on the IT world. The findings show that Mendix has the average highest potential based on its features, having the highest collaborative development support and the most graphical user interface features. SAP Build has the strongest interoperability support, and the strength of Neptune is within the reusability feature. The strengths and weaknesses of each LCNC framework differ, therefore the impact of each LCNC is dependent on the specific use case. A recommendation to Accenture is made on how to position LCNC frameworks to their clients based on this research. LCNC framework adoption leads to the overall benefits
of an increased development speed and cost reduction and drawbacks in customisability in general. The recommendation for a specific LCNC framework highly depends on the needs and sector of the client.

Abstract: The development and diffusion of clean technologies, such as heat pumps, is crucial for mitigating CO2 emissions. Technological Innovation Systems (TIS) provide a framework for understanding the diffusion and development of clean technologies in developed countries. For developing countries, however, researchers suggest an extended version of the TIS framework accounting for their characteristics of developing countries. On the top of this, researchers claim that there is a need for ex
