End-user development is a systems development effort in which the user is primarily responsible for the development of the system. This is in contrast to other types of development listed here, in which a qualified computer professional, such as a systems analyst, takes charge of the systems development process. End user development is feasible only when the system being acquired is relatively inexpensive. A good example is when a user purchases a PC and develops applications on his or her own. In developing the system, he user might follow a pro typing approach or a method similar to traditional development.
Certain changes exist when users develop their own systems. Among these are users not enforcing proper security measures in their systems, user systems interfacing with other systems within the organization, and users building systems that neither rthey nor the organization can effectively support. Nonetheless, when computer professional within an organization are too overloaded to build small important systems to help users, end-user development may be the only alternative. End-users development refers to system development carried out by users. End-user development is the development which is done by End-users.
