Software development is one of eu-LISA’s core activities. This report looks at the role of generative AI in software engineering and its impact on software development practices.
The report examines the evolution of AI tools in software engineering, the frameworks used to assess their performance, and the current landscape of AI coding assistants. It also considers their effects on developer productivity, code quality and security.
While AI coding assistants may support productivity gains, their use requires careful consideration, particularly regarding the security and quality of systems developed with their support. The report therefore highlights the importance of monitoring technological developments, regularly evaluating such tools, and ensuring sufficient resources to review AI-generated code.
