According to a study by Gartner Research, generative artificial intelligence (genAI) tools are expected to be adopted by half of all enterprise software engineers by 2027. Currently, only about 5% of enterprise software engineers use genAI tools, but this number is expected to grow rapidly due to high software demand and the limitations of existing developers. AI-based code generation tools can significantly increase developer productivity, but they do not eliminate the need for human developers as they can still produce errors and cannot create unique code. Additionally, AI assistants are emerging as accelerators, boosting developer productivity and enabling "citizen" developers to quickly create apps. [Extracted from the article]

Cognition AI, a San Francisco-based startup, has developed an AI assistant named Devin that aims to revolutionize the software engineering field. Devin can actively collaborate with users during software development, providing real-time progress updates, accepting feedback, and making design choices. It can plan and execute complex engineering tasks, learn from its experiences, and rectify mistakes. Devin's capabilities include learning unfamiliar technologies, building and deploying apps, finding and fixing code-based bugs, and contributing to open-source repositories. It has also successfully completed real-world tasks, such as assessing a damaged road using computer vision technology. While there are voices of caution within the industry, praising Devin's capabilities, some believe it will expedite the software development process and lead to stable applications in a shorter period of time. The emergence of Devin signifies a shift towards AI-driven prompt-to-action engineering, potentially impacting the roles of conventional software engineers. However, as AI-driven technologies continue to advance, the role of AI workers like Devin will become increasingly prominent in software development. Currently, access to Devin is limited, but Cognition AI plans to broaden access in the future and develop AI agents for various disciplines. [Extracted from the article]

This article describes a procedure that would help programmers organize arrays of data. Three examples that calculate area and volume are presented to illustrate how array organization can affect performance. The calculations were applied to hundreds of thousands of mesh elements, which were included in a benchmark to have a memory footprint of over 20 megabytes. But the elements were organized in a cache-optimal way, so cache reuse occurs. The benchmarks have two interacting array classes. A Point class was used to store coordinates, and a shape-specific class was used to store the point indices that define the shape.

This article describes the development of a test infrastructure that would deal with a real-time operating system (RTOS) software that had grown to support so many features and platforms that it was beyond the scope of a small technical staff to fully test and still develop the system as a reasonable pace. In the current form, the test system builds all software components and tools, boots each computer type, and runs a set of measurement, specification and regression tests. The first trial of the test harness was crude because of time and resource constraints.

The article discusses a method of implementing reusable associations in C++, C# and Java. The method entails the use of two keywords, modification of the compiler and use of a code generator to replace missing language features. The resulting library uniformly treats associations, collections and structural design patterns and automatically generates unified modeling language class diagrams. Several codes for keeping all methods in just one class of the associations and inserting data are presented. Ways to deal with parameter member names not supported by the existing templates are cited.

The article explains the reason Codice Software pursued capability maturity model integration (CMMi) evaluation during the development of Plastic software configuration management (SCM). CMMi helps the company do what they say they are doing, forcing employees to follow their own process. It also makes Codice aware of their own working practices. The effort to get adapted to CMMi has started an internal process that makes the company keep an eye on best software practices. Codice is now running internal training on patterns, good coding practices, and restarting code inspections and informal reviews.

The article features practices that can be applied in dealing with various problems associated with software development processes.

These practices come from software engineering, process assurance and agile and can be grouped into three kinds such as software engineering practices, social engineering practices and organizational practices.

The article discusses the use of model-based tools in creating embedded-software circuits. Automatic code generation is an element of model-based design that facilitates the design of a system through a formal graphical presentation instead of a traditional written specification. Model-based system allows embedded system designers to shorten software schedules and simplify functional changes or hardware upgrades. Model-based software features built-in error checking, automatic documentation and reverse engineering, thus minimizing the occurrence of common errors.

The article discusses issues concerning software engineering. The book "Trustworthy Systems Through Quantitative Software Engineering," by Lawrence Bernstein and C. M. Yuhas is discussed. The authors contend that most software theory focuses on its static behavior by analyzing source listings. Moreover, software projects tend to outlive the tools used to produce them. The design documentation for a software project often falls by the wayside. This article also asserts that firmware should not make irrevocable decisions that impose economic hardships on customers.

This article looks at the possibility for the TR1 Regular Expressions Library to be used as a regular expression machinery in computer language design. It discusses several factors to consider in searching for a text that matches a regular expression such as using search algorithms as a pointer to the first character code in a null-terminated array, as a reference to a basic string object or as a pair of bidirectional iterators that delineate the text to be searched. It describes the sample code implements using a Boolean variable.

This article looks at the possibility of hardcoding domain-modeling sessions into a domain-specific language (DSL) while providing a reusable and concrete implementation of domain models and concepts. Microsoft's DSL Workbench was used to illustrate traditional factory-like production characteristics in software development. The article stresses that adopting DSL for use within a company's development produces nontechnical benefits wherein domain-specific concepts can be utilized by developers without requiring a thorough understanding of the intricacies and nuances of the domain.

This article discusses an approach that enables the release of a software application where end users can download updates for selected portions of the applications as it becomes available. A mortgage calculator which calculates conventional American mortgages and has functionality for loading skins and languages, was used as a sample application.
