Coding With GitHub Copilot

by

Approximately 70-95% of software developers have begun incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into their workflows, according to recent surveys by GitHub and Stack Overflow. AI-powered tools have the power to help make the development process more efficient and enjoyable for software engineers, especially once they can fully incorporate the tools into their workflows. 

GitHub Copilot has gained a large following in the software world – pretty much everyone who has dabbled in AI coding has at least heard of it, and most have even tried it out. In this blog post, I’ll look at what Copilot is, how we have started using it at Grio, and how I see it shaping the future of software development.

How Artificial Intelligence is Improving Quality Assurance 

by

Gain confidence in your software with quality assurance

Quality assurance (QA) is an important part of the software development process. It is the process of testing a software application to ensure that it meets the standards and requirements that users expect. 

QA can be a time- and money-intensive process. Teams are typically forced to thread the needle between conducting enough testing to ensure an app is ready to launch and staying within a budget and deadline. However, there are several ways that strategically deployed use of artificial intelligence (AI) in QA can help balance time and cost.
