03 Top Software Development

Trends in 2019
Change is the only constant on this planet. There is no industry from
education to healthcare which can resist changes. Every sector
welcome innovation that bring changes in the ongoing IT trends.

Similar is the case with software design & development trends as well.
In fact, the software industry is one of those sectors of contemporary
times that witnesses a constant change in its practices because of the
growing software technologies.

Custom software developers are used to keeping themselves updated

with the latest software and IT trends of their industry. Same is with
the businesses that get the software development services from
software development companies.

Now let’s come to the moot point — What will be the top software
development and IT trends in 2019? Undoubtedly, 2018 was the year
of discussions about the various trending software technologies from
Artificial Intelligence to Blockchain.

The IT industry has seen tremendous growth in recent years. In a

report by Gartner in 2018, it is predicted that the spending in the IT
industry will witness the growth of 8.3% in 2019.

Here are the top software development trends in 2019

that need your focus. So, let’s explore them in detail:

Software Trend 1: The Mixed Reality

Mixed reality is the combination of twin technologies of virtual reality
(VR) and augmented reality (AR). The market size of mixed reality
worldwide in 2018, 2019 and 2025 is estimated and predicted by
Statista.AR has won a great amount of growth over the years and the
credit for this solely goes to its integration on smartphone apps.

The popularity of smartphones is the only reason why companies are

scrambling to invest in their own AR application. These companies are
also hiring AR developers in large numbers. Unlike its twin technology;
VR, AR apps do not need hardware with the latest specifications.

Software Trend 2: Artificial Intelligence

With the onset of Artificial Intelligence, the machines are programmed

to conduct the tasks that were restricted to the human mind. The
artificial intelligence-based software can think intelligently like humans.

The subsets of artificial intelligence like machine learning and deep

learning are gaining constant popularity among businesses. More and
more companies are taking machine learning and solutions services
as a necessity.

Artificial intelligence improvises business tasks and makes them

simple. It has provided the web app developers a brilliant support to
experiment. This has made AI to reach healthcare, banking,
education, mathematics, etc.

Software Trend 3: IoT

Internet of things covers the broad categories of devices that are

connected to the internet. These applications have spread to both the
customer and industrial domains. In the area of safety and customer
experience, IoT is witnessing exponential demands.

Every second over 127 new devices will be connected to the internet,
according to David Evan’s calculations (former researcher of CISCO).
This gives an idea about the constantly increasing reach of IoT.

Over 90% automobiles by 2020 will be IoT enabled as per PWC

estimates. Moreover, according to the data found by Statista, there
were around 23.14 billion devices in 2018 and the number will reach
to 26.66 billion by 2019.
