The Visual Low-Code Tools

 

Low-Code platforms such as WebRatio Platform include tools that replace writing programming code with a much more straightforward and more intuitive visual approach, which allows you to define all aspects of applications much faster, automatically generating the code to be released into the environment of testing and production.

Interaction Flow Designer

The Interaction Flow Designer is the main tool of WebRatio Platform, where Low-Coders can visually design the structure, contents, and behaviors of the application, as it is presented to the online user, thanks to the Interaction Flow Modeling Language (IFML) visual design language.
The visual approach of the designer makes the applications’ development much more intuitive than writing the programming code, and, without having to deal with the repetitive and low-value parts, the Low-Coders can concentrate on the new functionality and logic of the application.

 

User Interface Designer

The UI Designer is a visual editor for designing user interfaces for web and mobile applications. It is a WYSIWYG tool used to customize the graphic aspect of applications down to the smallest detail. It is composed of a main area, which is both editor and preview, where it is possible to modify the UI with a simple drag and drop from the widget bar. The widget library is dynamic, depends on the style associated with the web/mobile project, and can be extended with widgets created by developers

In the User Interface Designer of the WebRatio Low-Code Platform, it is added as a widget from the library in the interface

Custom Widgets and App Theming

It is possible to create personalized widgets using the dedicated wizard that automatically presets all of the configurations necessary for the platform. You can thus create customized libraries for your company and your customers, developing widgets with Angular technology, without having to settle for predefined solutions.
The layout is also fully customizable, where you can choose from the predefined themes or create custom themes by defining the color palette, the font set, and the icons that you want to add to the default library for a unique look and feel.

 

Business Process Designer

The Business Process Model visual designer allows you to visually design business processes using BPMN notation, defining participants, tasks, subprocesses, automatic processing flows, messages and notifications, automatic events, and gateways to decide the conditions of carrying out the activities.
Thanks to the BPMN process synchronization wizard with the web application, it is possible to automatically create a dashboard for each process actor and all of the user interfaces necessary for the execution of user tasks.

OpenAPI Designer

The designer allows you to define a domain model in UML, which describes the structure of the information managed by the application, even by importing it from an external data source. Thanks to the low-code approach, it is possible to automatically obtain the classic CRUD operations (create, read, update, and delete) and draw the logical processing flow of further application functions, which are then published with OpenAPI. The definition of role-based access control (RBAC) rules allows you to secure access to published APIs for only specific users. The automatic result is a microservice that exposes the ready-to-use APIs for both internal and external projects to the platform.

 

Visual Low-Code Languages

 

Within the low-code development tools, the heart of the platform is visual languages, which replace writing programming code. WebRatio uses three standard languages adopted by the OMG (Object Management Group) consortium: IFML (Interaction Flow Modeling Language), the first visual language for modeling the interaction between the user and the application, which defines the structure and behavior of the software solution, conceived by WebRatio and adopted by OMG as a standard in 2013, BPMN (Business Process Modeling and Notation) for process definition, and UML (Unified Modeling Language) for data structure definition.

IFML

The interaction Flow Modeling Language is a language that includes a set of graphical notations for creating visual models that represent user interactions with the application on the front end.
IFML is used to express the contents displayed and the navigation paths between the elements of the interface, the events and user interactions, the links with the business logic, and the databases that contain the information.

BPMN

The Business Process Modeling and Notation BPMN is a visual modeling specification developed by OMG. It is the standard that provides a graphical notation for specifying business process models in a Business Process Diagram. The objective of the BPMN is to support business process management activities, and within WebRatio platform, it is used to define the business logic that links various services and applications, simplifying their management and orchestration.

UML

UML is the third OMG standard used in WebRatio Platform. It is a visual language whose notation is used to define object-oriented models to represent domains of different kinds.
Within the OpenAPI Designer of WebRatio Platform, the class diagram is used in particular to define the domain model, with the types of objects and the relationships between them contained in the information structure on which the back-end and front-end applications are based.

Natively Agile

Low-code platforms implement Agile practices, such as rapid MVP (Minimum Viable Product) realization, continuous improvements with feedback, increasing responsiveness to change, and facilitating the change management necessary during digital transformation in a company.
The Agile methodology understands the relationship between people, processes, and technology. Low-Code platforms like the WebRatio Platform simplify the relationship between people and processes because they have a positive impact on both. For people, the increased productivity helps the developer shortage, whereas the visual approach makes collaboration easier. From the point of view of processes, the improvement of collaboration between stakeholders leads to a greater understanding of business activities and objectives.

The True No Vendor Lock-In

 

Vendor lock-in means making customers dependent on the use of products and services. not being able to change vendors without significant switching costs.
In Low-Code development, vendors can apply vendor lock-in to generated applications, making customers dependent on using development platforms or related services.

Vendors can apply various strategies to bind customers with technological or economic constraints.
From a technological point of view, almost any aspect can be a reason for constraint: the use of the generated applications, the number of end users who use them, the release environment, the limits of scalability, integrations, code access source, and modification of the created solutions.
The combination of these limits can lead to Low-Code Platform usage subscriptions that lock customers up with additional costs beyond those required to develop applications.

No Lock-In Strategies


The use of WebRatio Platform does not include any of the constraints described; on the contrary, it offers a very simple flat subscription system: a periodic subscription per development station that can use the applications created even without using the platform.
