Part 8 covers AI's impact on DevOps and development: This year's explosion of AI and ML is instigating an unparalleled transformation in business productivity expectations. In 2024, the extended accessibility to AI- and ML-driven automation tools will continue to elevate the benchmarks for code quality, reliability, and security, in response to the escalating demand for expedited software delivery ...

Part 6 covers AI's impact on DevOps and development: AI will play a significant role in generating code, allowing for faster development with fewer human resources. But as code inevitably becomes more like open-source software, AI-generated vulnerabilities will become a bigger concern. The speed at which AI-assisted developers work will underscore the importance of enhanced application visibility and security, as developers may lack the full understanding of their AI-generated output ...

Companies have touted AI's ability to make employees more productive and efficient, personalize services and experiences, and improve quality while decreasing human error. And today, many organizations also realize the competitive advantage of utilizing AI in workflows, especially in web and mobile application performance testing ...

The popularity of generative AI technology has skyrocketed in 2023, and that trend is likely to continue ... To gain insights into user experiences with generative AI services, my organization, Applause, surveyed more than 3,000 digital quality testing professionals across the globe. Here's what our survey uncovered ...

A long-running study of DevOps practices ... suggests that any historical gains in MTTR reduction have now plateaued. For years now, the time it takes to restore services has stayed about the same: less than a day for high performers but up to a week for middle-tier teams and up to a month for laggards. The fact that progress is flat despite big investments in people, tools and automation is a cause for concern ...

"Developer enablement" tools increased productivity, but they present challenges relating to upskilling and retraining developers to use these tools, according to The next generation of developer productivity, a report authored by Mike Loukides, VP of Emerging Tech Content at O'Reilly Media ...
