The IT industry is currently experiencing the next transformative wave, fueled by the emergence of multiple LLMs and generative AI. Exploring generative AI-based use cases in application development, maintenance, modernization, and testing presents multiple advantages, significantly boosting efficiency, accuracy, and automation in these domains.
In the realm of application development, generative AI can streamline the requirement gathering process, assisting in story refinement, elaboration of definitions of done, and recommendations on non-functional requirements. Furthermore, it can accelerate coding tasks by automatically generating code snippets or complete modules based on high-level requirement specifications, story documentation, or flow diagrams.
Generative AI can play a crucial role in maintenance and support by automatically identifying and fixing issues or vulnerabilities in code. By harnessing machine learning algorithms and generative AI capabilities to analyze historical data patterns, operations teams can be better equipped to proactively prevent issues and incidents, thus minimizing downtime, and ensuring smooth application operation. Additionally, generative AI can assist in documentation generation, facilitating better code maintainability and enabling faster root cause analysis through log inferencing and summarization, leading to improved MTTR. Assisted ChatOps is another key use case currently being piloted and implemented.
The modernization and migration of workloads to the cloud represent critical aspects in the application services space. Generative AI offers numerous possibilities and use cases for assisted reverse engineering, code summarization, configuration analysis, dependency analysis, and integration complexity analysis, thereby enhancing velocity and outcomes for modernization initiatives.
Generative AI can enable the creation of synthetic datasets and test cases that mimic real-world scenarios, ensuring thorough testing and uncovering potential issues that might remain undetected with traditional testing approaches. Automation of test case generation and execution through generative AI not only would accelerate the testing phase but also enhance test coverage, leading to more reliable and resilient applications.
Our team has recognized the significant potential of generative AI, particularly in application development, maintenance, modernization, and quality engineering. While exploring numerous use cases, we have identified a key set of low risk, high value ready-to-implement use cases, culminating in the development of TechM AppGinieZ.
