IDC's Low-Code, No-Code, and Generative AI Developer Technologies examines developer tools that leverage abstraction layers or intelligent technologies to accelerate the creation of digital solutions. Examples of such tools include intelligent code completion technologies, coding assistants, low-code and no-code developer tools, automated testing tools, and tools for building applications that leverage generative artificial intelligence (AI). The CIS examines not only developer tools and technologies; it also considers related technologies that leverage generative AI to manage the full life cycle of software development, inclusive of development, testing, deployment, monitoring, life-cycle management, and DevOps processes.

Markets and Subjects Analyzed
- This CIS will analyze the landscape of development tools that specialize in the use of abstraction layers and intelligence to enhance and enrich development. Examples of such tools include low-code and no-code development tools and other intelligent developer tools that accelerate development by means of visual or natural language–guided tooling. These tools empower developers who may have little or no knowledge of custom coding and scripting to build digital solutions, as well as professional developers that need to accelerate product delivery.
- This CIS examines the market size and forecast for this landscape in terms of developers and competitive market revenue and provides qualitative commentary on market dynamics that are responsible for the growth and evolution of this landscape.
- For reporting purposes, the following competitive market-specific groupings illustrate our preliminary categorization of low-code, no-code and generative AI developer tools. (Note that these groupings may change.)
