Accelerate adoption and productivity gains of AI-augmented development through automation, governance, and end-to-end analytics

AI-assisted development is everywhere

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been around for a while and is growing faster than ever, with new tools helping developers generate code more quickly than ever. A recent survey found that 92% of US developers are using AI coding tools both in and outside of work.* Despite the proliferation of generative AI tools many organizations are still attempting to find ways to manage AI’s use in augmenting code. This newfound coding speed has the potential to revolutionize software delivery by dramatically increasing productivity and accelerating release velocity, but these gains are not automatic. Implementing strong governance over release pipelines influenced by AI, and establishing baselines while quantifying gains is essential.

Using AI to generate code comes with risks, but it's also something businesses can't ignore

As AI-augmented code becomes increasingly indispensable, the need for proper governance, guardrails, and improved delivery processes grows. Downstream impacts must be mitigated to increase the SDLC's efficiency enough to handle the high volume of code. This is important as generative AI models usually have very little oversight making it increasingly likely that AI-augmented code contains security and vulnerability issues. If left unchecked, those issues can lead to regulatory and compliance concerns which can cost an enterprise both financially and in brand reputation. Even if these challenges are solved organizations are left with the task of pouring over their data to quantify productivity and show value in the company’s investment in AI tooling.

The solution lies in teams adopting more automation to improve the quality, security, and overall delivery of their AI-augmented code. Proper code governance is also a must to reduce risk and ensure compliance and auditability. Qualifying gains and establishing baselines will increase productivity by identifying risks and discovering bottlenecks which will allow teams to continuously improve their software delivery processes.

Challenges

  • Security and vulnerability: AI models may be trained on harmful data, leaving it open for vulnerabilities
  • Regulations and compliance: AI-augmented code can contain biases and might not protect user data
  • Quantifying ROI of AI: It is hard to isolate the impact of AI generated code and translate that into benefits.
