Artium’s 100% US based practitioners work alongside your team, enabling them by pairing up to ship real, business-critical software to production using the latest AI tools and Artium’s tried and tested approach.
Here are some of the ways that we believe the latest AI tools and practices can help you build higher quality software in tighter, faster iterations.
Understanding
Studies show that developers spend about 35% of their time understanding new code due to the cyclical process of searching, relating, and collecting information. The latest AI tooling and our AI practices accelerate codebase understanding.
Refactoring
Refactoring early and often is critical to developing high quality code that can be iterated on easily and effectively. Our AI development methodology includes key refactoring practices that make refactoring easier for developers and cut the time it takes.
Automation
Automating repetitive tasks and avoiding developer toil is key to keeping developer happiness levels high. Happy developers are more productive and if repetitive manual work is automated away they can focus on writing new features and delivering more business value.
Code Reviews
Code reviews can be time consuming and can block or slow down development and the integration of new features and business value. Using an LLM based copilot tool can help provide an artificial set of eyes to give feedback for the dev making the submission and help streamline the process for the developer performing the review.
Testing
Artium knows that well-tested code leads to lower defects in production and a healthy release process. We practice Test Driven Development and see a strong test harness as critical to the ability for rapid iteration. Testing is critical to releasing frequently and our AI empowered approach to testing increases speed and reduces risk!
Backlog
It’s not just your developers that we can supercharge with AI - we will transform the way your Product Managers and Product Owners work too. Clear, well defined user stories that are force ranked and constantly reprioritized are key to ensuring that developers are spending their valuable time on the most necessary features - and that they are building those features exactly as the product owner intended.
When it comes to integrating AI-enhanced methodology into your SDLC we believe in three core principles:
Learn Through Doing
We will build alongside you and help your team master all the AI-enhanced software development practices we’ve devised - this ensures your team will be successful even after your engagement with Artium is over.
Apply Good Frameworks
The latest LLM based tools (like GitHub’s Co-Pilot for example) can make your developers faster if they’re used correctly and in conjunction with other best practices - but using AI tooling without the right framework can lead to very bad outcomes.
Master The Tools
The latest AI tools are changing the game. We can help you leverage them for higher quality software, built in tighter iterations, released more regularly but at lower risk, to create greater customer satisfaction.
