GitHub Copilot for code generation and review
LSEG reported that some coding work taking days became 10 to 20 minutes of review
Problem
LSEG developers worked across multiple desktops. The group wanted a secure environment that reduced development effort.
Approach
LSEG provided GitHub Copilot through its Windows 365 development environment. Developers used it to generate and review code. Product owner Paul Gravestock described some work previously taking days as requiring 10 to 20 minutes of review.
Results
Takeaway
The timing was an example from one product owner, without a measured average across developers.
