Software Development Trends to Watch in 2022
Trends in software development change over time. So, for a software development company (no matter the size), staying still isn’t a great option.
If you want to help your customers meet their customized needs and stay at the top among your competitors, make sure you become a leader in the trending technologies in software.
In this post, we are going to shed light on the top software trends to watch in 2022.
Low-Code/No-Code Platforms
Every company needs customized software to keep up with their demands. As conventional software development methods require a special set of skills and may take too long. This is where low-code and no-code development platforms help.
As per a Forrester report, the low-code platforms market is expected to reach over $21 billion in the next 5 years.
Major features of low-code platforms include drag-and-drop tools and reusable components, which deliver faster software development. Thus, using these platforms, businesses can boost digital transformation easily and quickly.
DevSecOps
For information technology teams, security remains the number one concern. DevSecOps means Development, Security, and Operations. It helps in improving the overall safety of software products.
When using DevSecOps, software products are designed considering security, thus they are more secure. Additionally, it offers early security risk detection and fixes of potential vulnerabilities.
Blockchain Technology
Blockchain technology has the information-sharing capability and is also known for enhanced security and accuracy. That’s why many banking systems are adopting it.
Since blockchain technology can store a record in any public-facing database, more companies are opting for it.
Blockchain-based applications have emerged as a top choice for developers who are focused on building secure open-source solutions.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
The next in the list is artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) driven approaches. These involve developing software, which can take actions or make predictions based on information they collect.
AI technologies have already gained popularity in the early years, and are expected to be in the trend in the coming years.
AI chatbots, voice commands, and voice virtual assistants have replaced customer service. AI and machine learning are being used in native mobile application development to boost app usability and customer experience.
Progressive Web Apps (PWAs)
For mobile users, native apps are popular for delivering an amazing user experience. However, the cost of developing these apps for different mobile platforms along with maintenance costs is a concern.
Progressive web apps are web apps, which can be easily installed on any mobile device through browsers. When compared with native apps, PWAs are faster, and more secure & responsive. Moreover, users can operate most PWAs offline.
To wrap it up, the software development industry depends on the latest innovations and cutting-edge technologies. Software developers always look for and utilize the latest trends to stay ahead of the competition. Some of the hot software development trends to watch in 2022 are low-code/no-code platforms, DevSecOps, blockchain technologies, artificial intelligence, and progressive web apps.
