AI coding tools shift focus to quality and security metrics for dev teams

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

As AI coding tools accelerate software development, traditional metrics like velocity may become less indicative of true progress. Experts suggest focusing on KPIs that measure quality, security, and maintainability, such as Mean Time To Detect Defects, Defect Escape Rate, and Change Failure Rate. These metrics help ensure that increased code generation speed does not lead to a rise in technical debt or security vulnerabilities, emphasizing the need for robust human oversight and review processes.
