Top Software Development Trends to Watch in 2024

Software Development needs to follow these trends to flourish in 2024. Have a look!

Why do Blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) top the list of trends in mobile app development? These have become the de-facto, rules, that are ingrained in any new application irrespective of the technology stack. These are not required to sustain an application, but are definitely meant to make them forward looking, and modern.

Computer industry has been innovative, vital and successful. The software industry is booming and has no stoppage. Computers have become integral part of life in almost all walks of life, like medicine, engineering, and technology, science, business, research, education, social life, etc.

Let us understand what software development is?

It is an ever evolving realm that interweaves technologies to create a software product (customized) to a business' requirements.

Every software product has seen an acceleration in performance with the inclusion of AI. Machine Learning, Neural Networks, Quantum Computing, Cloud Computing are the subsets that make the performance even better, bringing about requisite security to the platform.

Decentralizing operations, reduces the load from one server and distributes the tasks on various client nodes. This prevents failing of network in contingencies. If anyone node fails, backup is always available, which picks up from where the previous node has left.

Single Page Applications (SPA) and Progressive Web Apps (PWA's) are even more popular as they just feature basic information, are easy to use, and can work offline. They are more convenient than traditional multi-page applications, load quickly without rendering, do not get refreshed on every click, are easier to make and troubleshoot.

Any tweaking into the applications is directed towards making it more SEO friendly than traditional mobile applications.

For which software development trends should the industry be ready for?

  According to Baires Dev, top software development trends for 2024 include: (1) Cloud, (2) Blockchain, (3) AI, (4) Low-code/no-code development, (5) Python and JavaScript, (6) Modern languages, (7) Native app development;

   According to Savvycom, current trends in software development for 2024 include: (1) React, (2) Go, (3) Kotlin, (4) JavaScript, (5) Swift, (6) TypeScript, (7) Progressive Web Apps;

  According to Binmile, emerging trends in software development for 2024 include: (1) DApps leading blockchain innovation, (2) AI boosting automation and efficiency, (3) Cybersecurity remaining a top concern, (4) Low-code/no-code platforms empowering non-technical users, and (5) Quantum computing transforming problem-solving.

    With the evolution of technologies, software developers are required to upskill themselves and lean coding languages like JavaScript, C++, Python, Java; mobile app development frameworks and web development frameworks like Angular, Reactjs, React Native; data science algorithms, machine learning algorithms; Git and GitHub; SQL and other database technologies; Cybersecurity; Project management and software development lifecycles; Communication and collaboration; other tools (API’s, third party libraries, plugins)  for software development like: (1) Nifty, (2) GitHub, (3) Jira, (4) Cloud 9, (5) Bitbucket, (6) Node.js, (7) Linux, and (8) Bootstrap.

  According to Gartner, top 10 strategic technology trends for 2024 are: (1) AI Trust, Risk and Security Management (AI TRiSM), (2) Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), (3) Sustainable Technology, (4) Platform Engineering, (5) AI-Augmented Development, (6) Industry Cloud Platforms (ICPs), (7) Generative AI (GenAI), (8) Unsecure employee behavior, (9) Third-party risks, (10) Boardroom communication gaps, (11) Identity-first approaches to security;

What is the future of software development be like?

Software development has never been the same right since the inception of computers, mobile phones, websites, and mobile applications. It has evolved, and transformed bit by bit. The widespread integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) into software systems. Some of these technologies are repetitive, and trend every year, while some have emerged from the existing ones. The origin of technologies automates redundant tasks, generate code, and are helpful in debugging. Artificial Intelligence, Machine learning, Natural Language Processing, Code Generation are going to improve so that human coding speed improves, and accuracy is enhanced. 

Trends that are new and important at the same time

  Low code development: Technologies that do the same work but in less lines of code will trend. As these will reduce the effort, produce similar results, and will help naive developers learn and implement fast.

    Cybersecurity: Data in cloud, on network, needs to be safely delivered within time and budget. Cyber security will work in conjunction to cyber resilience as it will include measures that can be taken to recover and ensure the continuity of the flow of data over the network. 

   Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality: Almost every software solution (web/mobile) needs VR and AR are not the future technologies. They are happening right now. They are spearheading organization's customer experience, innovation, and productivity. But the requirement has to be planned in advance, correct usage, integration, alignment, and post deployment effect needs to be checked. 

  Adjusting some cloud computing here and integrating some quantum computing there will help in solving many complex problems that are currently impossible for classical computers.

  There will be a rise in outsourcing due to the demand to reduce cost of infrastructure and increase in remote work.

    DevSecOps: It is an emerging software development trend that  is an extension of DevOps that assimilates security in software development lifecycle. It involves automation, collaboration between development security and release management.

  Without forgetting, even if businesses have not taken it up seriously. Generative AI will become a serious trend to be followed in 2024. After finding out the loopholes of ChatGPT, generative AI will find its way to the applications from search engines, to application software to desktop apps to design packages to communication tools.

Conclusive

Nearly 70% of the businesses are invested in software solutions (web, desktop, android, and iOS). Software Development Trends that are not new but will continue to flourish in 2024 are PWA's, Native app development, Blockchain development, custom software development, 5G as it is 100 times faster than 4G, Internet of Things due to its widespread adoption, machine learning due to its ability to find quick and efficient ways to analyze a large amount of data, digital twins to bridge the gap in between physical and digital worlds, enterprise metaverse to interact more freely with the physical world, embracing automation, and healthcare IoT gadgets (wearable) to allow early detection of diseases. 

Moreover, (1) Microservices architecture, (2) DApps lead the way for blockchain innovation, (3)

The Ascendancy of React, Go, Kotlin, JavaScript, Swift and TypeScript, (4) Quantum computing transforms problem-solving, (5) Cybersecurity remains a top concern, (6) Uptick in Native App Development, (7) Progressive web app development services, (8) Progress in Use of Modern Languages, are other trends to look forward to.
