Productivity in Software Development

Abstract

The introduction of ChatGPT by OpenAI and its versatile use cases in software development led to the creation of new tools supporting developers or engineers in their daily tasks. Many well-known software companies have launched their versions of AI assist-ed coding tools. Notably, GitHub Copilot, examined alongside ChatGPT in this thesis, stands out among these innovations. This study evaluates whether access to AI assisted coding tools has a noticeable impact on the productivity of software developers working within a large-scale agile framework.
