Generative AI coding tools for engineers
PubMatic reported a 35% rise in engineering productivity in the first half of 2024 with generative AI tools
Problem
PubMatic wanted its engineers to ship software faster and tested whether generative AI tools could help with coding, unit tests and code review.
Approach
Engineers used GitHub Copilot for code generation and unit tests, Bito.ai as a code review agent, and ChatGPT for small scripts. The company said engineers accepted 20-30% of Copilot's generated code. One Private Marketplaces project was sped up by 80% through faster test case writing.
Results
Takeaway
The productivity figure is PubMatic's own and the post does not say how it was measured.
