*Result*: Evaluating low-code development platforms with the CD score.
*Further Information*
*The article presents a method for evaluating Low-Code Development Platforms (LCDPs) for the purpose of assessing the degree to which the expectations of users of these platforms are met in terms of the possibility of independent software development by non-IT-trained specialists—the "Citizen Development" (CD). The degree of meeting the CD assumptions has been implemented in the proprietary CD Score index. It enables comparison of existing LCDPs and formulation of recommendations regarding platform selection, taking into account project team skills. The results of research aimed at systematizing available LCDPs represent an attempt to define their preliminary taxonomy. The attached examples of evaluation of existing LCDPs illustrate the possibilities of using this new measure in practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
