Behold, the next leap in software engineering – AI Cockpit. An integrated development environment, this revolutionary system aims to reinvigorate and expedite all stages of the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC). Hailing from the digital services giant, Compass UOL, the tool aims to supercharge the work of their 6,000 software engineers. With a clientele that spans the spectrum from retail and consumer goods to finance, oil, mining, and agriculture, AI Cockpit’s prowess promises benefits for a diverse array of industries.
The Promise of AI Cockpit
AI Cockpit is not a one-trick pony. Instead, it is a hub of generative AI and automation tools, handpicked to streamline the entire SDLC process. Analysis, design, implementation, testing, and deployment – each phase is within AI Cockpit’s purview. It’s like having a Swiss Army knife, but for software engineering.
A Notable Inclusion: Agile Cockpit
Among the assortment of tools that AI Cockpit incorporates is an old favorite – Agile Cockpit. Long offered by Compass UOL to its clients, Agile Cockpit is a veteran in measuring the software development lifecycle, generating metrics and insights as easily as one breathes. It’s a social creature, integrating seamlessly with Jira, GitHub, and other software applications. In doing so, it efficiently identifies bottlenecks and inefficiencies, making the software development process smoother than a hot knife through butter.
The Evolution from Agile to AI Cockpit
The transition from Agile Cockpit to AI Cockpit wasn’t just a whimsical decision. It was the result of a comprehensive study conducted by Compass UOL in early 2023. The study found that new generative AI models could potentially halve the time taken to complete a typical software project within the next two years. So, a task that once took 78 hours could soon be completed in a swift 36 hours with the aid of AI-assisted software engineering.
Generative AI: The New Helper in Town
AI Cockpit can also process customer voice messages to expedite the collection of use case requirements, a task that often feels like pulling teeth at the start of a software project. However, this newfound efficiency comes with a side of apprehension. The study discovered that software engineers harbor a fear of AI developing software more effectively than humans. But Compass UOL sees a future where developers play an integral role in AI-assisted software engineering.
Compass UOL CEO Alexis Rockenbach offers reassurance, stating that while AI Cockpit can assist with many tasks in the software development lifecycle, there are some aspects that still require the keen judgment and expertise of a human. “We are enabling our team to adopt the generative AI tools and platforms that can help them jumpstart activities that are part of the software development life cycle very well and avoid others which might not be suitable for the precise and reliable answers that complex decision-making activities require,” he says.
