Diasoft Integrated AI into Its Software Development Processes

September 5, 2024

Due to the increasing complexity of business processes, the development of microservice applications from the scratch has become more time-consuming and resource-intensive. Integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the software development workflow allows optimizing processes and boosting their efficiency. AI automates routine tasks, improves the code and allows developers to focus on the creative tasks.

Diasoft uses CodiumAI to develop microservice applications for its Digital Q Digital Transformation Ecosystem. CodiumAI is a plugin to the VSCode source code editor. The tools is used to analyze the context such as comments, function names or declarations of a variable with a specific name, automatically generate suggestions and transform natural language into structured code responses in 12 programming languages.

CodiumAI is used in the following software development processes:

• Automated Testing – The tool automatically generates code unit tests reducing the time spent on manual writing of tests.
• Automated Code Review – CodiumAI provides recommendations for the improvement of the code and identifies potential errors or anti-patterns.
• Reducing the Technical Debt– The tool analyzes the codebase and identifies areas with a high technical debt, such as a cluttered code or incorrect architecture.
• Generation of the Code Documentation– CodiumAI automatically generates the code documentation, which is especially important for large projects involving many participants.
• Code Refactoring – The tool supports automatic code refactoring, improving the code structure and reducing its complexity, for instance, by cleaning up unnecessary variables.
• Syntax and Semantic Verification – CodiumAI performs in-depth syntax and semantic analysis, pinpointing code segments that might lead to runtime errors or incorrect application logic.
• Employee Training –  CodiumAI offers best code design practices and patterns to less experienced developers, accelerating the training and onboarding process for new team members.

CodiumAI helps Diasoft experts to automate routine tasks, improving the efficiency of the development of microservice applications and enhancing the code quality. The tool is not a substitute for human knowledge and experience, but significantly improves and facilitates the overall development process.
