Implementing a Mendix low-code application using best practices

As digitization increases, low-code development has grown in popularity due to its possibilities for rapid application development. However, adopting a new technology takes time and consideration. Best practices help in the introduction of a new technology as well as to ensure high-quality code. The purpose of this thesis project was to explore best practices to streamline Mendix low-code application development in the client company where Mendix platform was a fairly new technology in use. The research was based on the pre-defined best practices provided by Mendix. In this thesis the Mendix best practices were evaluated through the implementation of an application development project with the agile approach. The goal of the project was to create an extensible low-code application from one feature of an existing high-code solution. The objectives of the project were met, and the project gave a better understanding of the importance of best practices in application development as well as in adopting a new technology. Best practices helped to create a consistent application and improved team collaboration. The findings of the research are usable also in future low-code projects
