Introduction The landscape of software engineering is undergoing a seismic shift with the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the development lifecycle. Once considered a distant future, AI-assisted coding is rapidly becoming mainstream thanks to tools like GitHub Copilot, Amazon CodeWhisperer, and open-source solutions such as TabNine. These tools are fundamentally redefining how developers write, test, and deploy software by augmenting their productivity and enabling new workflows. What is AI-Assisted Software Development? AI-assisted software development refers to the use of machine learning models (mainly large language models, or LLMs) to help software engineers ...
