GitHub Copilot for EROAD's in-house developers
EROAD developers use GitHub Copilot to write over 40% of new code and 70% of unit tests, EROAD says
Problem
EROAD builds telematics and fleet software, and its developers needed to ship product features faster without lowering code quality.
Approach
EROAD gave its developers GitHub Copilot, an AI coding assistant, to help write product code and unit tests. In November 2023 the company reported that AI wrote more than 40% of new code and 70% of unit tests. It also ran a companywide AI event with Microsoft, and said it planned Azure OpenAI features for customers.
Results
Takeaway
EROAD reported the share of code and tests written by AI, and tied it to quality and delivery speed. It gave no baseline or independent measurement for those gains.
