various external forces, and societal demands. So, one
can imagine how crucial it is to stay updated with the
latest industry trends to reach the top of the pyramid
and walk with the pace of the current market. Every
tech professional knows the importance of staying
ahead in the competition.
As a leading web and mobile app development
company, we have taken an in-depth tour of current
and forecasted software development trends. If you
want to know what they are, it’s time to check out the
below-listed points.
The following points highlight the top 10 software
development trends you should follow in 2022 and
will surely help a developer dominate the technology
sector in the coming months.

3. Software Development Trends to Follow in 2022
The following points are a few software development trends you should follow this 2022 to enjoy maximum
benefits.

4. 1. Low-Code/No-Code Platforms
The low code/ no code trend will continue to rise in popularity. The
history of computing is developing higher-level abstractions away
from zeroes and ones, ranging from the traditional assembly
languages and compiled software to all-new and modern low code/
no-code platforms.
Today, businesses are leveraging digital transformation without any
technical resources. It makes it easy for start-ups as well as
entrepreneurs to move forward and take their businesses to new
heights.
2. Near-Perfect Digital Experiences
The number of applications is skyrocketing, and cloud infrastructure
is reaching all corners, front-end development is also taking the
center stage. Professional developers are better aware of the skills
and responsibilities to improve efficiency and bring massive
improvements to the customer experience. After all, achieving a
great digital experience is another crucial factor for successful
software.

5. 3. Native Mobile-Development
Languages
Another software development trend many are
showing interest in is the native mobile-development
languages (Kotlin, Swift) and programming languages
that focus on refining the product performance, speed,
memory safety, and parallelism for a promising future.
The trend is growing with the constantly increasing
demands of users for better app quality, personalization
and speed.
4. Machine Learning Operations
Achieving a little bit of operational excellence is
possible with machine learning operations. The
machine learning operations include several elements,
namely, real-time feedback on key model KPIs in
production, concept-drift detection, and pre-built
support to update models.

6. 5. User Experience Design
Whether it’s a startup or a well-established business, user
experience has always been the primary focus of businesses.
User experience design today matters the most than other aspects
of the website or other form of digital product. Companies
nowadays, reimagine their customer engagement models to
better adjust with the disruption created by the pandemic.
6. Balanced Development Automation
You might have heard about software development automation.
But what is balanced development automation? Well, today’s
trend has shifted from software development automation to
balanced development automation that also includes other
related terms such as risk, compliance, and legal. The most
critical process for every company, software development, is
completely changing the automated tech pipelines to value
streams, where “cross-functional” refers to going beyond IT into
other parts of the organization.

7. 7. Progressive Web Apps
PWA (Progressive Web Apps) is another new trend in
the software development many developers are talking
about and taking advantage of for maximum output. The
consistently rising PWA usage allows the developer to
create more cross-platform applications. But at the same
time, the app developers must ensure a high level of
security from the start, timely deployment, and constant
customer updates.
8. Code-As-A-Service
Code-as-a-service allows a developer to leverage
platform-as-a-service and infrastructure-as-a-service and
thus cloud computing. This software development trend
provides built-in artificial intelligence, Internet of Things
(IoT), machine learning, and blockchain modules that
provides easy access to developers to in-demand
technologies.

8. 9. Mobile-Responsive Design
Another trend in software development is mobile responsive design
for which demand is constantly rising, and this trend will surely
remain for several coming years. Today, smartphones are widely used
for shopping, connecting with friends, browsing your favorite topic,
reading the latest news, and more. And this whole experience becomes
incredible when you will be provided with an intuitive mobile-friendly
design. Such a design boosts the digital experience of the user. This is
why companies are following mobile-responsive design approaches
seriously.
10. The API Economy
In order to make offline consumer channels like mail and digital out-
of-home faster and smarter, the API economy is developed. And this
is what is dominating the industry and will continue to do in the
coming years. We can easily conclude how vital the mail is still
crucial for the majority of users worldwide. No doubt, transforming
the mail workflow will help companies enjoy the benefits of
communication channels that have been often overlooked.

9. 11. eCommerce Cloud Integration
We all know that cloud integration has become one of the higher
priorities for eCommerce development. But at the same time, some
cloud-based eCommerce platforms fail to integrate with outside
services, and in such a case, businesses have to migrate to more
suitable platforms or storefronts.
Cloud platforms are equipped with different ease, and this is what
users appreciate the most. Users always want access to many options
and features to optimize their cloud platforms.
12. A ‘Shift Left’ Approach To Security &
Compliance
To date, teams perform security and compliance practices after
creation to identify security issues. But the ‘shift-left’ approach
helps developers and security teams work together to proactively
look for the security issues before cloud resources are deployed.
Such an approach helps developers achieve a high level of
productivity and stop the security risks before runtime.

10. 13. Continuous Integration & Delivery
Continuous integration and delivery is another trend in software
development, giving an edge to the tech industry with its best
capabilities. The rapid adoption of CI/ CD is driving a rapid digital
transformation. The continuous integration and delivery involve
continuous testing that helps identify and resolve bugs before they
go into downtime. Not only this, but it also promotes the usage of
automated pipelines for technology deployments. It allows the
teams to deliver value to the customers.
14. Serverless Computing
The last on our list is serverless computing, one of the fastest-
growing cloud services models for software development. It is a
disruptive architectural approach that has now become quite
popular in recent years. It has gained such wide popularity because
it facilitates application development without worrying about
server management and enables operations to easily scale up.
