Abstract

In our daily work, we are often faced with the challenge of designing tools for non-programmers (citizen developers or domain experts) to build their own software, which requires us to investigate appropriate methodologies. At first glance, Low-Code Development (LCD) and End-User Development (EUD) seem like natural candidates. This raises the question of the similarities and differences between LCD and EUD, which this paper explores based on relevant literature. The results show that while both approaches share high-level goals, there are notable differences.
