Gen AI: Streamlining Mainframe Development with Automated Code Explanation and Comments Generation

(JI)

Stream: MQ
Time: 14:15 - 15:00


Presentation

Onboarding junior mainframe developers poses multifaceted challenges. They must navigate extensive, diverse codebases authored over the years, with varying styles, practices, and documentation levels. Departures of original authors and impending retirements exacerbate this challenge. Senior developers invest significant time in guiding newer developers, conducting code reviews, and enforcing standards, particularly in distributed teams. From a managerial perspective, onboarding is costly and affects senior developer productivity and team velocity with added concerns about regressions and bugs introduced by junior developers.

Generative AI offers a groundbreaking alternative in the mainframe development process by enabling contextual code analysis, automating explanations, and integrating comments and code documentation seamlessly. This technical session explores the utilization of Gen AI, streamlining code explanation while ensuring codebase security. We'll also share insights and experiences from Alpha and Beta users who are leveraging Gen AI to streamline their Agile development journey.

Attendees will learn:
- How Generative AI revolutionizes mainframe development, enabling comprehensive code analysis and automating explanations.
- Insights into enhancing team productivity and velocity by leveraging Generative AI for code understanding and documentation.
- The significant time and cost savings achieved through streamlined onboarding of junior developers.
- Strategies for seamlessly integrating comments and code documentation into the development process using Generative AI.
