Abstract

Low-code development has gained traction, yet the use of metrics in this context remains unclear. This study conducts a systematic literature review to identify which metrics are most used in low-code development. Analyzing 17 studies, we found a strong focus on Development Metrics, while Usability Metrics were underexplored. Most studies adopted quantitative approaches and fell into the Lessons Learned category (58.8%), suggesting an exploratory phase with little metric standardization. Future work should focus on standardizing metrics and incorporating qualitative insights for a more comprehensive evaluation.
