Speaker Topics - No Fluff Just Stuff

Incorporating AI into your SDLC

Just as CI/CD and other revolutions in DevOps have changed the landscape of the software development lifecycle (SDLC), so Generative AI is now changing it again. Gen AI has the potential to simplify, clarify, and lessen the cycles required across multiple phases of the SDLC. Join us to look at the multiple ways we can leverage AI to simplify and streamline software development from start to finish. We'll include hands-on exercises to demonstrate key points.

In this session with author, trainer, and experienced DevOps director Brent Laster, we'll survey the ways that today's AI assistants and tools can be incorporated across your SDLC phases including planning, development, testing, documentation, maintaining, etc. There are multiple ways the existing tools can help us beyond just the standard day-to-day coding and, like other changes that have happened over the years, teams need to be aware of, and thinking about how to incorporate AI into their processes to stay relevant and up-to-date.
