TaskBuilder Low Code is a visual, highly abstract, and highly automated approach to software development that defines the required tasks at a high level and then relies on tools to generate many of the underlying code bases. Professional developers and line of business (LOB) employees who understand business problems can use low code concepts and practices to solve a variety of everyday programming chores. This frees up teams of developers to focus on larger, more complex projects.
A drag-and-drop visual interface allows users to select from a menu of reusable functional components without having to write individual lines of code. They arrange and organize the available functional components to form the desired software flow, similar to creating flow charts to solve business problems or tasks. Users can easily add, move, or remove functional components to build the final process.
The main benefits of TaskBuilder’s low code development over traditional application development are cost and time savings, which can enable organizations to deliver certain products and features faster and more cheaply. There are many reasons why organizations should continue to use regular development models, especially for complex or specialized enterprise software. Many projects require features and operations (such as optimized performance) that do not easily accommodate a low-code approach, and the amount of effort required to create and modify low code to meet these requirements is unreasonable.
What are the application scenarios of TaskBuilder low code platform?
Web Portals: Portals are a common and popular way for customers to interact with businesses, find services or products, get quotes, check resource availability, arrange jobs or place orders, and make payments. Low code can help quickly create an array of portals with a common front end or user interface, rather than manually coding HTML and back-end components.
Line of Business systems: Enterprises rely on LOB systems and applications to perform daily tasks. For example, mortgage companies use a system to organize mortgage documents and paperwork, integrate appraisals and perform credit checks and financial analysis on borrowers. Companies typically buy such a platform from a vendor or build it in-house using traditional coding processes. Low code brings a third option that can help organizations build and add adaptive and scalable applications, or even migrate them to a single or multi-cloud deployment.
Digital business processes: Traditional paper – or spreadsheet-based business processes are time-consuming and error-prone. Enterprises can use low code to create applications that gather the required information, pass the information and requests through the company’s approval process, deliver the results to the requester, and integrate with regular business systems such as ERP. For example, low codes can be used to simplify capital requirements applications.
Mobile applications: With low code, companies can build a variety of applications for mobile devices to present data and business interactions to customers. For example, an insurance company’s mobile application enables customers to file claims from smartphones and upload documentation of events, such as collision photos. Today’s low-code platforms can assemble applications for Android and iOS devices from the same project.
Microservice applications: The microservice architecture creates highly extensible applications through a series of independent components that communicate through apis on the network. These components can be developed, deployed, and maintained independently, enabling faster development and easier updates with fewer regression tests than traditional monolithic applications. Low code is a viable platform for microservices-based components that can quickly create and reimagine core applications for higher performance and stability, and help transform traditional legacy code into modern, agile microservice applications.
Applications based on the Internet of Things: Companies are struggling to capture meaningful business data from the vast array of sensors and real-world devices that make up the Internet of Things (IoT), as well as ways to profit from the data or services generated. Enterprises can use low code to build applications and capabilities to integrate IoT endpoints and collect data, send IoT data through a back-end computing infrastructure, and provide final data requests to internal or external customers. For example, a low-code gardening application might use humidity and temperature sensors and data on growth cycles and conditions to automatically control indoor lighting and irrigation of cultivated crops.
