Key findings from the whitepaper
The study’s findings showcase the undeniable advantages of AI tools in software development. Here are the key takeaways:
Speed improvements
Tasks completed using AI tools were, on average, 40% faster than traditional methods. Some tasks, like frontend feature development, saw speed increases of over 175%.
Quality gains
Code quality improved by 89.7% on average when developers used AI tools. This was especially noticeable in test writing and documentation tasks.
Consistency
AI tools significantly reduced variability in task performance. Developers using GenAI assistants had more predictable outcomes in both time and quality, even for complex assignments.
Developer satisfaction
Over 87% of participants reported positive experiences with AI tools, highlighting reduced cognitive load and enhanced confidence in their outputs.Key findings
The study’s findings showcase the undeniable advantages of AI tools in software development. Here are the key takeaways:
1. AI speeds up development but exposes new bottlenecks
When code ships faster, the real delays show up in reviews, processes, and decision-making.
2. Productivity gains don’t happen by default
Casual use of AI helps a little. Structured use with the right setup and coaching leads to real impact.
3. Developers now guide, not grind
The role is shifting—from writing every line to shaping systems and reviewing AI-generated output.
4. Organisations must evolve too
You can’t scale AI impact if only part of the company moves faster. Culture, workflows, and leadership all need to align.
