Generative AI in Software Development Lifecycle

2025-07-28 - 2025-07-30

Generative KI im Software Development Lifecycle (Online)

In this training, you will learn how to effectively integrate generative AI into all phases of your software development cycle - from requirements analysis to operations. You will learn how to achieve more with your existing team and the power of AI while taking risks and ethical aspects into account.

After completing the training, you will be able to use generative AI pragmatically and purposefully in your processes, implement your own ideas and make existing processes more efficient and innovative.

Agenda

  1. introduction & context
    • Why foundation models and generative AI are shaping the future of software development
    • Technological change and its concrete impact on your day-to-day work
    • Clarify terms: LLMs, multimodal models, foundation models
  2. Requirements with generative AI
    • AI-supported creation, analysis and refinement of requirements
    • Generating user stories from natural language and multimodal content
    • Automatically translate customer needs into structured requirements
    • AI-supported classification and prioritization of requirements
    • Create prototypes faster and effectively involve non-technical team members
  3. design architecture efficiently
    • Automated derivation of system architectures from requirements
    • Create software design proposals using generative AI
    • Reflecting and documenting architectural trade-offs
    • Agent-based simulation and evaluation of architecture variants
  4. Accelerate implementation
    • Increase efficiency from code completion to AI-driven implementation of complete features
    • Support for API integration and library usage
    • Increase code quality through automated refactoring recommendations and documentation
    • Understand and modernize legacy code faster
  5. optimize testing & quality assurance
    • Generate tests automatically: Unit, integration and end-to-end
    • Create synthetic test data and identify edge cases
    • AI-supported reviews for test coverage and quality
  6. Make CI/CD more efficient
    • Generate CI/CD configuration automatically (GitHub actions, GitLab pipelines)
    • Automated creation of release notes and changelogs
    • AI-based security scans and compliance checks
    • Self-healing pipelines and automated troubleshooting
  7. improve operation & monitoring
    • Accelerate incident management with AI-based root cause analyses
    • Automated monitoring and prioritization of alerts
    • AI-based log analysis and integration with observability stacks
  8. Strengthen maintenance & further development
    • Automated bug fixing and ticket management
    • AI-based explanations of code changes (“Diff Explainers”)
    • Automatic detection of regressions and technical debt reduction
  9. Integrate ethics and compliance
    • Raising awareness of bias and fairness in generative AI
    • Ensure transparency and explainability
    • Overview of regulatory requirements (EU AI Act / German AI Regulation)
    • Understanding and taking into account risk classes of AI applications
