Claims

C1strongest claim

Findings reveal that LCDPs help automate tasks; however, they also increase security risks and governance challenges, highlighting the need for robust practices and a security-conscious culture.

C2weakest assumption

The perspectives gathered from the twelve interviewed IT professionals are representative of the broader security and governance implications of LCDPs in DevOps environments.

C3one line summary

A qualitative study of twelve practitioner interviews finds that low-code platforms automate tasks in DevOps but increase security risks and governance challenges, requiring robust practices and a security-conscious culture.
