According to Gartner, approximately 63 percent of organizations are currently operating, deploying, or have already deployed AI code assistants globally.
"Software engineering leaders must determine the ROI and make a business case when scaling their rollouts of AI code assistants," said Philip Walsh, Senio principal analyst at Gartner.
"However, traditional ROI frameworks lead engineering leaders toward metrics focused on cost reduction. This narrow perspective fails to capture the full value of AI code assistants," he said.
The report surveyed approximately 598 global respondents in the third quarter of 2023. AI code assistants allow for more capabilities that go beyond simply completing code generation.
According to researchers, they are collaborative assistants that increase the efficiency of developers by stimulating brainstorming and enhancing code qualitative enhancements that empower developers to continuously enhance skills and build proficiency in programming frameworks.
He said the enablers provided by AI code assistants result in higher job satisfaction and retention, thereby saving on expenses associated with turnover.
“To tell the complete enterprise value story for AI code assistants, software engineering leaders must connect value enablers to impacts, and then analyze the overall returns to the organization,” Walsh said.
