According to Gartner®, “By 2026, 90% of software engineering groups will use AI tools to augment the software engineering process, up from less than 10% today.”
AI augmentation, now supercharged by generative AI, is transforming previously untapped areas in software development such as architecture design, code development, code reviews, and test automation. Download this Gartner® report to see how vendors use AI at the core of their offerings to help customers innovate.
What we think you’ll learn:
- Cut technical debt with architectural observability tools that pinpoint inconsistencies and provide AI-powered remediation.
- Boost documentation quality with tools that auto-generate, update, and maintain real-time, context-aware content—reducing onboarding time and standardizing knowledge sharing.
- Elevate coding efficiency and quality with AI-powered IDEs offering smart code suggestions, real-time feedback, and automated test generation for smoother development.
- Close testing gaps with AI-driven tools that create meaningful test cases, ensuring comprehensive coverage and stronger applications.
We believe that vFunction is at the forefront of this trend, providing the tools necessary to meet this growing need. For more information read our latest blog, or these five reasons we believe Gartner® is named vFunction a Cool Vendor:
- AI-powered. vFunction’s architectural observability platform understands and visualizes application architecture to reduce technical debt and complexity.
- Find and fix technical debt. vFunction uses extensive data to identify and remediate architectural technical debt across the entire application portfolio.
- Shift left. Address the root causes of technical debt to prevent performance issues before they arise using vFunction’s patented methods of static and dynamic analysis.
- Prioritize and alert. vFunction incorporates a prioritized task list into every sprint to fix key technical debt issues, based on business goals.
- Any architecture. The platform relies on OpenTelemetry to support a wide spectrum of programming languages in the distributed world, and Java and .NET for monolithic architectures, so you can use it for a variety of use cases, from monoliths to distributed microservices, refining microservices, and considering modular monoliths.
