Generative AI in the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC)
Generative AI is revolutionizing the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) by streamlining processes, enhancing productivity, and improving software quality. As its adoption accelerates across industries, generative AI is becoming an indispensable part of software development workflows. This paper explores the integration of generative AI into SDLC phases, including requirements gathering, design, coding, testing, deployment, and maintenance. It highlights the transformative potential of generative AI, analyzing its applications and addressing the challenges associated with its incorporation. Furthermore, the paper examines the long-term impact of generative AI on key development tasks, emphasizing its capacity to reshape software engineering methodologies and influence all SDLC participants. By providing insights into both current applications and future potential, this paper underscores the pivotal role of generative AI in driving efficiency, innovation, and progress within the software industry.
