Set Up SAP Business Application Studio for Low-Code Development in a Test and Evaluation Environment

Run the Prepare an Account for Low-Code/No-Code App Development booster in order to access the low-code/no-code capabilities of SAP Business Application Studio.

1. From the navigation pane of your SAP BTP cockpit, choose Boosters.

   It is recommended to have a fresh subaccount for test and evaluation.
