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.

The article describes a procedure for creating native applications for Windows CE operating system using Qt, a C++ application framework from Trolltech. An image viewer called "Qt Image Viewer" that had been internationalized for three different languages is presented to demonstrate how one could use Qt. The Image Viewer application is around 150 lines of code, which can be compiled to any of the platforms that Qt supports, and will run natively with the platform's custom look. The requirements for creating a native Windows CE application in Visual Studio 2005 are discussed.

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 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.
