The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized numerous industries in recent years, and software development is no exception. AI tools are increasingly finding their way into the daily work of developers, promising to increase efficiency, automate repetitive tasks, and improve code quality. The betterCode() GenAI Conference, an online event from iX and dpunkt.verlag, is dedicated to this topic on January 21, 2025, and will highlight the diverse possibilities and challenges of AI-powered software development.
The conference offers a varied program that covers the current state of AI-supported development, the application of AI systems for code reviews, their use in testing, the migration of legacy code, as well as an overview of suitable AI tools and the associated security aspects. Industry experts, including representatives from companies like Codecentric, iteratec, and QAware, will share their experiences and insights in presentations and workshops.
A focus of the conference is the presentation of concrete use cases of AI in software development. For example, it will be shown how AI tools like GitHub Copilot, Cursor IDE, or the Void editor can accelerate the development process and increase productivity. Furthermore, advanced applications of AI, such as automated code analysis, the generation of test cases, and the optimization of code reviews, will be addressed.
In addition to the advantages of AI integration, the associated challenges will also be discussed. An important aspect is the security of AI-generated code. Conference participants will gain insights into the risks and opportunities of AI in the area of security and learn how they can ensure the quality and security of their software. The question of how human expertise and AI tools can be optimally combined to exploit their full potential will also be examined.
The betterCode() GenAI Conference is aimed at software developers, architects, testers, and anyone interested in the future of software development. It offers a platform for the exchange of knowledge and experience and allows participants to learn about the latest trends and developments in the field of AI-powered software development.
For those interested in deepening their knowledge in the field of AI-supported software development, a supplementary online workshop on the topic "Coding with Co-Pilots: AI Tools in Software Development" will be offered on January 28, 2025. Here, participants can practically apply the presented tools and techniques and expand their skills in working with AI-supported development environments.
Tickets for the betterCode() GenAI Conference can be purchased at the early bird price until December 20, 2024. Teams of three or more people also benefit from a group discount. Further information about the conference, the program, and registration can be found on the betterCode() GenAI website.
