What is required by software platforms in order to give a good developer experience?

Sammanfattning: This research report was carried out in collaboration with Qlik AB and aimed to identify what aspects are needed from a software platform in order for developers to want to use them. It also aimed to identify how well the software platform Qlik Core had implemented these aspects. The research used online questionnaires, interviews and data analysis using Qlik Sense. The research compared how different groupings of people had varying needs. It also explored and got a deeper understanding of why some of these aspects were needed. The research found that the most important aspects of a software platform is API code examples, thorough documentation explanations and that you can have working code quickly. It also found that Qlik Core does not have these three aspects and it needs to mainly work in its documentation and examples.
