Abstract: Li Wei, deputy director of the Cloud Computing and Big Data Research Institute of the Academy of Information and Communications Technology, released the "White Paper on Low-Code Development (2022)" & "2022 Low-Code No-Code Application Case Compilation".
This article is shared from the HUAWEI CLOUD community " Huawei participated in the editing, the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology first issued the "White Paper on Low-Code Development" & "Compilation of 2022 Low-Code and No-Code Application Cases ", author: Paula0202.
On August 10, 2022, the "2022 Digital Transformation and Development Summit Forum" jointly sponsored by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (hereinafter referred to as "ICTA") and the China Communications Standards Association was held in Beijing. The theme of this forum is "digital native, industrial regeneration, and value symbiosis". At the forum, Li Wei, deputy director of the Institute of Cloud Computing and Big Data of the Institute of Information and Communications Technology, released the "White Paper on Low-Code Development (2022)" & "2022" Compilation of low-code and no-code application cases. The reports were compiled and revised by the Enterprise Digital Development Co-construction and Sharing Platform (EDCC) - Low Code • No Code Promotion Center. PaaS architect Zhong Lifeng was invited to participate in the preparation work on behalf of Huawei.
First look at the white paper——
【Low-code technology development timeline】
Low-code has a long period of free development, and the competition track is blurred. In 2014, Forrester put forward the definition of low-code, "a technology and tool that can quickly develop applications with little or no need to write code, and can be quickly configured and deployed."; In 2018, Gartner proposed and promoted aPaaS and iPaaS Concept, continuous technological innovation makes low-code attract more and more people's attention.
[Low-code product capability framework]
The report summarizes five common capabilities of low-code products, and combines the two product types of low-code development platforms and development tools to form a low-code capability framework diagram.
The 5 major functional capabilities are as follows:
- Development and management capabilities : Provide the ability to visualize development and configuration, provide the management capabilities of the development process and development resources, and provide the life cycle management capabilities of the production, reuse, and deletion of products in the development process.
- Expansion and integration capabilities : expansion capabilities, on the basis of visual development, need to provide code development capabilities, through a small amount of code support to expand and improve the resources of various granularities such as components and functions; integration capabilities can be integrated through the integration of files, tools, systems Waiting for external capabilities, enhancing development capabilities, covering more application fields, and enabling low-code development capabilities externally through integrated interfaces.
- User experience : a sense of user experience based on factors such as the learning cost and ease of use of low-code products.
- Ecological capabilities : Multi-terminal responsive support, upstream and downstream connectivity, application secondary development and other functions.
- Security : Refers to providing security functions for the product itself and user assets.
【New IT technology integration brings new power】
Low-code has been integrated with technologies and resources such as AI, big data, RPA, IOT, and SaaS platforms, and has played an important role in promoting intelligent analysis, digital twins, and other fields. Low-code can not only promote technology integration, stimulate technology application potential, but also continuously enrich its own capabilities, enable full-link development, penetrate business scenarios, tap the potential value of data, and realize digital empowerment. It is an important part of technology development and application innovation. one ring.
[Positioning of low-code product capabilities]
The report launched a low-code product capability positioning map, focusing on low-code technical characteristics, with customization and visualization as the horizontal and vertical axes.
- Visual dimension: measure the degree of visual encapsulation of low-code products. The higher the degree of visualization, the larger the developer team, the deeper the application scenario mining, and the more complete the development model.
- Customization dimension: measure the customization and personalized support of low-code products for complex business scenarios. The higher the degree of customization, the higher the degree of freedom of product development, the greater the coverage of scenarios, and the higher the degree of completion of specific business scenarios and enterprise personalized needs.
[Low-code innovation pioneer is the ultimate goal of development]
The low-code product capability positioning map divides low-code products into: universal development type, domain service type, and product development type. The capability positioning map further proposes the concept of innovation pioneer.
Innovative pioneering type: It refers to having a highly complete visualization capability and a highly open customization capability. On the basis of enabling the full link from front-line business personnel to developers, it can realize the exploration of new fields and new business models. A practical pioneer of exploration and technological innovation, creating leading competitiveness and leading the development of the industry. Innovative Pioneers are leaders in the development of low-code products.
【Low Code Challenge & Development】
The report pointed out that low-code development faces four major challenges, and it is urgent to establish a low-code development system to guide the development and construction of the low-code industry, and jointly build a market structure with an orderly and fully competitive market. The low-code development system includes four aspects: talent training system, standard specification system, ecological construction system and market promotion system.

The AppCube case was selected into the case compilation——
HUAWEI CLOUD, as one of the member units of the Low-Code • No-Code Promotion Center of CAICT, actively participates in and promotes the development of the domestic low-code industry. In May of this year, Huawei's AppCube application Rubik's cube passed the "low-code platform general openability requirement evaluation". In addition to participating in the writing of the white paper, two customer cases of AppCube’s application of Rubik’s Cube— Changan Automobile’s “Low-Code Building Enterprise Application Digital Platform” and Mashuzhi’s “Chongqing Building Decoration Industry Digital Collaborative Management Platform” were both selected into the “2022 Low-Code” · No-code Application Case Compilation".
