It’s no secret how artificial intelligence (AI)-powered tools and systems, which promise users exponential productivity, growth, and efficiency, have quickly become integral in organizations’ processes and workflows. AI — specifically generative AI (GenAI) and large language models (LLMs) — is now a foundational element of the software development process, allowing developers to build and scale software at a velocity that would have been impossible a mere decade ago. These technologies have permeated the software development lifecycle (SDLC), from ideation to maintaining software, ensuring that concepts are translated swiftly into code.
