> 75% of teams are either using AI/ML or bots for test/code review, or they’re planning to – up 41% from 2020.

What are some examples where you are using AI/ML for test/CR?



I assume most of these are bots, not AI/ML, so could be just a bot that reports a merge request into a slack channel, and lets you merge from slack.


I was hoping for that information as well... would love examples of the tools referenced in the article, and whether they seem to work or not!



We didn't capture that information but I've asked the person who runs the survey to consider including a question on this in next year's survey.


Combining AI/ML and boys into a single number seems... dishonest.


In the report, you'll find detail on the breakdown of the 75% number that is mentioned in the blog post:

- 25% of respondents use bots to test their code

- 16% use AI/ML to review code before a human sees it

- 34% are exploring the idea of AI/ML


I know, I read it. The fact of the matter is that the 75% number is the number at the top of the article, which is all most people will read, and tries to present a certain narrative about AI/ML for code.


i’m pretty sure it’s 95% bots who auto-close issues or whatever and 5% ai-driven git blames
