4 Ways AI and Machine Learning Are Transforming Software

Software is so embedded in our lives that most people don't bother to ask themselves if they really know what it is or how it works, let alone the ways in which software development is evolving at record speed.

So let's start with the basics:

Software is a set of instructions that tells a system for example, a computer or mobile device or a cloud application how to work. That's a broad definition, but so is the field itself, especially after years of transformative innovations across technologies from web and mobile apps to IoT development and cloud computing.

Now, fast-forward past today when AI and machine learning have already begun to disrupt every business sector including software development to the future, where the possibilities for growth and innovation seem endless. But how?

Before we explore that question, let's go back to those basic definitions. What is AI? What is machine learning?

Al is the ability of a computer or computer-controlled machine to perform human tasks without supervision, and to even reason, discover meaning, or learn from past experience. And machine learning is a subset of AI that allows systems to learn and improve without being programmed. In other words, AI can replicate human behavior, while machine learning can literally learn human behavior and innovate from it.

So, how can these technological advances help in software development? In a sentence: AI reduces the time and cost involved by automating processes and removing any chance for human error. Here are four key aspects of the software development lifecycle where AI and ML make a world of difference:

Streamlining project planning

The success of software projects hinges on two things: technical effectiveness and economic efficiency, both of which require careful scheduling and timing. AI-enhanced project management tools can help in making cost-effective, time-saving decisions from the get-go, eliminating the chaos of playing catch-up or re-budgeting mid-cycle.

Deepening problem analysis

Computers have long been employed in problem-solving, especially the compilation of large datasets. However, AI-enabled systems can dig deeper into the complexities of statistical analysis, allowing for a greater understanding of a client's unique requirements or issues in existing software and with more speed and accuracy.

Doing the heavy-lifting of project management

Imagine giving overworked project managers a built-in assistant without adding extra staff. Al can aggregate workloads to generate regular status reports. The technology can also calculate budgets, showing how incremental changes to it would affect project scope and timelines, and perform risk-modeling

Overall quality control enhancement

AI can enable developers to code better, spot bugs, and fix them. They also get the benefit of appropriate machine-learning algorithms in testing software programs.
