AI based projects


Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming software engineering by enhancing productivity, improving code quality, and automating repetitive tasks.

AI enabled development phases are

  1. Requirement: Using Natural Language Processing (NLP) AI-powered tools analyze user requirements written in natural language to generate specifications, diagrams, or models.
  2. Design: Code Sketching, AI tool to convert high-level design descriptions into skeleton code or UML diagrams.
  3. Coding: Code generation, AI-powered tools like GitHub Copilot generate code snippets or entire functions based on descriptions.
  4. Testing: Automated Test Case Generation: AI generates test cases based on application behavior, coverage requirements, or specifications.
  5. Deployment: Not only automated deployment but also AI anticipates deployment issues by analyzing logs, metrics, and historical data.

Future trends will be 

  • AI-Driven Development Platforms: Fully integrated platforms that handle end-to-end software development.
  • Cognitive Debugging: Advanced AI that identifies and resolves bugs with minimal human input.
  • Meta-Learning: AI models that learn to optimize software engineering tasks over time.
By integrating AI into software engineering, developers can focus on creative, strategic tasks, while AI handles repetitive and complex operations. 2025 is new era of AI - fasten your seat belt!!

git merge vs rebase


What are the differences to use git merge and git rebase commands and their execution model? 

Git Merge 

This creates a new commit 'G' in the main branch. G ties the histories of both main and feature branches. 

Git merge is nondestructive in nature i.e. neither the main nor the feature branch is changed. 

Git Rebase 

It moves the feature branch histories to the head of the main branch. It creates new commits E, F and G for each commit in the feature branch. 

The benefit of rebase is that it has linear commit history.  Rebase can be dangerous if the golden rule of git rebase is not followed.
