Research Paper Overview
Intuition to Evidence: Measuring AI's True Impact on Developer Productivity
Summary
This paper presents a year-long real-world study of an AI-assisted software development platform, DeputyDev, used by 300 engineers across multiple teams. The platform integrates code generation and automated review into daily workflows, resulting in a 31.8% reduction in PR review cycle time and a 28% increase in code shipment volume. Developer adoption grew from 4% to 83% within six months, with high satisfaction and continued usage intent. The study offers empirical evidence of AI's transformative potential and deployment challenges in enterprise software development.
