In the rapidly evolving software development landscape, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force, redefining traditional methodologies, and significantly enhancing productivity. From automating tasks to optimizing complex processes, AI technologies are revolutionizing the way software is conceptualized, developed, and deployed. This article delves into some ways with examples in which AI is empowering software developers and catalyzing innovation to drive productivity in the digital era. 

 AI Models for Productivity

Artificial Intelligence (AI) models represent the forefront of technological innovation, leveraging advanced machine learning algorithms to solve complex problems and empower developers. Developed through a combination of research, data analysis, and iterative refinement.  

The development of AI models begins with identifying a pressing challenge or a specific domain where AI-powered solutions can make a meaningful difference. Researchers start a process of data collection, curation, and preprocessing, amassing large datasets that serve as the foundation for training robust machine learning models. These datasets often encompass diverse sources of information, ranging from structured data in databases to unstructured text, images, and multimedia content from the web. 

With the datasets, researchers employ a variety of machine learning techniques, including supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning, to train AI models capable of understanding patterns, making predictions, and generating insights relevant to the target problem. The training process involves iteratively adjusting model parameters and architectures, and leveraging feedback mechanisms to enhance performance and generalization capabilities. 

In the case of Codellama, a specialized AI model designed to assist developers in writing efficient and error-free code, the development process entails training deep learning models on vast repositories of code snippets, programming languages, and software development best practices. By analyzing patterns in code structures, identifying common programming errors, and recommending optimal solutions, Codellama aims to streamline the software development process, improve code quality, and enhance developer productivity. 

Llama2, Algorithms

CodeLlama is based on Llama 2 (Llama 2 is a family of pre-trained and tuned large language models (LLMs) released by Meta AI in 2023. It is licensed for commercial use and open source) and is available in three models: CodeLlama, CodeLlama Python and CodeLlama Instruct. 

Each model was released in three sizes with 7B, 13B, and 34B. (At the end of January 2024, the 70B version was released). 

Code Llama specialization pipeline (Code Llama: Open Foundation Models for Code)

Automated Code Generation

One of the most prominent applications of AI in software development is automated code generation. AI-powered tools, such as code generators and auto-completion plugins, leverage machine learning algorithms to analyze existing codebases, understand coding patterns, and generate snippets or even entire modules of code. This not only accelerates development cycles but also minimizes human errors, thereby enhancing code quality and reliability. 

How to Install Ollama and Codellama

Before we dive into the installation process, let’s take a moment to understand Ollama. Ollama is an AI-powered tool that allows you to run large language models (LLM) locally, right on your own computer. There is no need to worry about connectivity or privacy concerns. 

• To install Ollama on your PC, you must first download the installer from the official Ollama website (https://ollama.com/download). Navigate to the download section and locate the version of Ollama compatible with your operating system. Once you find the appropriate installer, click the download button to initiate the download process. 

• The installation wizard will guide you through installing Ollama on your PC. Follow the on-screen instructions, read, and accept the license agreement, and choose the destination folder where you want Ollama to be installed. You can also select any additional options or settings according to your preferences. 

• If your operating system is Windows, you must add Ollama to the system variables.  

• Once the installation is complete, you will see a confirmation message indicating that Ollama has been successfully installed on your PC. You can now launch Ollama by double-clicking on its desktop shortcut or by searching for it in the Start menu, you can run the “ollama” command to verify that the installation was successful. 

• To use a model, for example, Llama 2, you must type the command “ollama run llama2: 7b”. When a model is not installed on your computer, the tool will first perform the download and then you can interact with it. 

Install Continue

Integrating Ollama with your code editor can enhance your coding experience by providing AI assistance directly in your workspace. The Continue extension, available in Visual Studio Code, can achieve this. 

1. Click Install on the Continue extension in the Visual Studio Marketplace
2. This will open the Continue extension page in VS Code, where you must click Install again.
3. Once you do this, the Continue logo will appear on the left sidebar. If you click it, the Continue extension will open, and in the lower left part, we can select the model we want to use. 

How to Understand the Current Code Base

In addition to generating code from scratch, CodeLlama allows us to analyze the code and explain its functionality. This capability speeds up the development process and improves the understanding of existing code, allowing developers to identify areas for improvement, fix bugs, and optimize performance. 

How to Run the Model – Provide Contexts

Codellama creates new implementations based on the context provided. This model uses natural language processing to analyze existing code files and produce new code that conforms to the conventions and structures of the previous project. 

Intelligent Bug Detection and Resolution

Identifying and resolving bugs is an inherent part of the software development lifecycle. AI algorithms, particularly those based on machine learning, excel in analyzing vast datasets to detect anomalies and patterns indicative of potential bugs. Through techniques like anomaly detection and predictive analytics, AI can proactively identify areas of code prone to errors, enabling developers to preemptively address issues before they escalate. Furthermore, AI-powered debugging tools can suggest fixes or automatically generate patches that the developer must validate, accelerating the resolution process and minimizing downtime. 

How to Detect Errors 

CodeLlama not only generates new code based on context but also identifies and corrects errors in existing code files. 

Enhanced Testing and Quality Assurance 

Testing is essential for ensuring the functionality, performance, and security of software applications. AI-driven testing leverages techniques such as automated test case generation, intelligent test prioritization, and autonomous test execution to optimize testing processes. By simulating real-world scenarios and generating comprehensive test coverage, AI enables developers to generate better code coverage earlier in the development lifecycle, thereby reducing the time and effort spent on debugging and rework. Moreover, AI-powered test automation significantly accelerates regression testing and facilitates continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD), enabling faster release cycles without compromising quality. 

Writing unit tests could not be easier. All you must do is provide the component as context and the correct prompt. The AI will be able to generate a unit test version according to your component, given that the unit test framework is trained within the model. An example prompt is the following:  

“Please generate the unit tests for user.component @user.component.ts @user.component.html” 

Important Takeaways

As artificial intelligence has many benefits, it also has important risks that must be addressed. It is important to understand that artificial intelligence is a tool that allows the developer to deliver faster software functionality, but that is not going to replace him/her. In this regard is the developer the person who defines the architecture and code style approach when leveraging these technologies, and not using the technology to drive a software development process.  

Having the right knowledge when developing software is key now more than ever. For this, the developer has to have deep knowledge about the programming language, tools, and frameworks that he is using to structure a software application without affecting the final users because of a lack of quality in the final functionality because of a misuse of artificial intelligence, thus affecting software development companies’ reputation.  

Developers should understand AI concepts, including machine learning, natural language processing (NLP), deep learning, and neural networks. This knowledge helps developers grasp how AI algorithms work and how they can be applied to enhance prompts and automate tasks in software development. 

In conclusion, Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing software development by augmenting developer capabilities, automating tedious tasks, and enabling data-driven decision-making. From automated code generation to intelligent bug detection, AI technologies are reshaping every facet of the software development lifecycle, enhancing productivity, accelerating time-to-market, and fostering innovation. As organizations embrace AI-driven development practices, they start to gain a competitive edge in the dynamic and highly competitive digital landscape.

You may learn microservices in-depth from beginner to expert in this set of tutorials.

click here for previous blog: – Tutorial 01 – Microservices Architectural Design by using Spring Boot

Introduction: –

Netflix Eureka Server – To enable discovery and communication between microservices, it is necessary to register or publish the microservice with the R&D (Registrar and Discovery) server.

• Each R&D server is a Spring Boot project with dependencies on other R&D servers. No installation is required, unlike with Tomcat, Wildfly, and other programs.
• Registration activity is the process of storing/publishing microservice details in the R&D server.
• Discovery Operation is the process of finding/fetching microservice details from an R&D server in order to communicate with or interact with another microservice.

The details appear as follows when we publish several instances of various microservices to an R&D server like Eureka Server.

Diagram: – Eureka Server Internal Structure.

• Document-less servers, like Eureka Server, are known. To put it another way, the server does not contain any XML or JSON files.
• Every time, the Service ID (also known as the Service Name) is the Project name.
• Instance ID is the unique ID. For every instance one unique instance ID will be generate.
• When a single instance is present, we shall not supply the instance ID. Service ID is used as the instance ID in that case.
• During the registration and publication process, Eureka Server automatically detects the host name and port information.

Load Factor = Current Load / Max Load

Diagram: – Eureka Server

Procedure to create Spring Boot project acting as Eureka Server

1: –

• Create Spring Boot Project adding Eureka Server as dependencies.

Note: – Do not add Spring Web Starter by mistake.

2: –

• Add @EnableEurekaServer on the top of Main class.

package com.eureka;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.cloud.netflix.eureka.server.EnableEurekaServer;

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableEurekaServer
public class MsProj01EurekaServerApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(MsProj01EurekaServerApplication.class, args);
    }

}

3: –

• Enter the following data in the application.properties that prevent the project from becoming a microservice and instead display it as an R&D server.

  #Eureka Server port number
  server.port=8761
  
  #MS name
  spring.application.name=MS-EurekaServer
  
  eureka.client.fetch-registry=false       // Mandatory to make this project itself as
  eureka.client.register-with-eureka=false // the Eureka Server and not as Rest API component.

• Default port number for Eureka Server 8761.
• The fetch-registry and register-with-eureka attributes have true as their default value.

Eureka Server Architecture

• Each microservice needs to be prepared in order to register with the Eureka Server. Due to the fact that Eureka Server itself cannot be registered with Eureka Server. For the “eureka.client.register-with-eureka” property, we must set the default value of “true” inherited from the Spring Cloud project to “false” in the Eureka Sever Project.
• While registering with the Eureka server, each microservice project should be kept prepared for communication and discovery. The default value of “true” for “eureka.client.fetch-registry” in the Spring Cloud Project must be changed to “false” in the Eureka Server Project since the Eureka Server project cannot be kept available for fetching or discovery.

The forthcoming tutorial will cover Eureka Server and Eureka Client development and publication.

At the center of digital transformation, we face the exciting challenge of creating an ecosystem driven by high-performance, interconnected microservices developed in diverse languages such as Java, C#, JavaScript, and Python. At Perficient we extract the best of each language to shape an agile and efficient ecosystem. 

Capturing data in real time: IoT and Priority Security   

This dynamic environment is powered by microservices that capture data by integrating with devices through IoT (Internet of Things). The essence of our mission lies in building innovative products aimed to identify external threats, prioritizing the safety of vehicles, passengers, drivers, and pedestrians. Our cutting-edge tools, such as cameras and sensors, offer real-time tracking, supported by AI (artificial intelligence) image recognition.  

Hexagonal Architecture and DevSecOps: Fundamentals of our operation  

The state-of-the-art of our ecosystem is defined by a hexagonal architecture, domain-driven design, and event-driven architecture. This approach ensures that software is built with a ubiquitous language, simplifying functions so any team member can understand them. This results in scalable and flexible software, able to adapt to changing demands and decoupled to offer flexibility in services as the challenge arises. 

The scalability of our system extends to the cloud, working with providers such as Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure in their commercial and government versions. This facilitates integration with various cloud services, from file storage to serverless services, databases and more, ensuring efficient and effective operation. 

Adopting the DevSecOps culture, we have implemented continuous integration and deployment practices, infrastructure as code and test automation. This combination of practices allows us to consistently add value with a predictable cadence, leading the delivery of advanced technological solutions. 

One of the critical areas of our work focuses on court cases, where we manage the capture, management, and disposition of evidence. This security challenge has led us to comply with rigorous standards such as SOC2, CJIS (criminal justice information) and OWASP-TOP10. 

In the vehicular domain, our systems, connected to the Azure cloud via IoT, search for incident-related license plates in real time. This capability allows immediate action to be taken, contributing to overall safety on the roads.  

Real-time visualization: Complete experience  

Real-time visualization via WebSockets offers a complete experience, displaying travel, vehicle information and all telemetry data. In the case of school buses, this technology ensures children’s safety by stopping and extending the “STOP” paddle, with IoT-connected cameras applying artificial intelligence to detect violations.  

In short, our safety ecosystem represents the convergence of innovation and advanced technology. At Perficient, we move forward into the future with the conviction that technology can transform security and efficiency in our daily lives. We build not just a technology ecosystem, but a safer, more secure and connected future for all. 

Perficient is always looking for new ways to improve our efficiency and effectiveness. One way we are doing this is by using artificial intelligence (Generative AI) to help us find the most suitable resources to be assigned to any project in need. 

AI can be used in different ways for our company to find resources. Now, we are developing a tool that can help us with the following tasks: 

• Searching for and identifying potential resources using NLP (Natural Language Processing) that works by breaking down language into its component parts, such as words, phrases, and sentences. It then analyzes these parts using linguistic and machine learning techniques to extract meaning 
• Matching resources to projects based on their skills and experience. 

Our application is using Natural Language Processing to search for and identify potential resources on our resume database. The AI scans our Resume profiles understanding the meaning of search queries and providing more relevant results, against the traditional search that only is based on keywords matching.  

Here are some key points to understand better the difference between our application against a traditional search: 

• Understanding the meaning of queries: NLP search can understand the meaning of search queries, even if they are complex or ambiguous. For example, if you search for “BA with QA experience,” NLP search can understand that you are looking for profiles who can match with a particular assignation. Traditional search, on the other hand, would simply match your query to keywords in documents and return results that contain those keywords, regardless of whether they are relevant to your query 
• Providing more personalized results: NLP search can provide more personalized results by considering the user’s past search history and preferences. For example, if you have frequently searched for PMs in the past, NLP search may be more likely to return Product Owners and/or Scrum Masters, that are profiles that could match with a Project Manager profile. Traditional search, on the other hand, would simply return the most relevant results based on the keywords in your query, regardless of your past search history. 
• Identifying synonyms and related terms: NLP search can identify synonyms and related terms, which allows it to return more relevant results for a wider range of queries. Traditional search, on the other hand, would only return results that contain the exact keywords. 

Also, our application using NPL is making a significant difference against a traditional search in several ways providing more relevant and personalized results for a wider range of queries considering the resource’s skills, experience, availability, and preferences when doing the matching. As a result, NLP search is becoming increasingly popular, and it is being used by a wide range of search engines and other applications.  

Some benefits of using Generative AI to find resources for our clients include the following: 

• Improved accuracy: AI can help reduce the risk of human error in the resource assignment process. Overall, because by getting a better understanding of search queries and more personalized results we can get the resources as accurate as the position needs. 
• Increased efficiency: AI can automate many of the tasks involved in resource assignment, such as identifying potential resources, matching resources to projects, and assessing the availability of resources. This can free up Perficient staff to focus on more strategic tasks. 
• Reduced costs: AI can help Perficient reduce the costs associated with resource assignment, such as the costs of recruiting and training new resources. 
• Improved client satisfaction: By helping Perficient find the right resources for the right projects, AI can help improve the quality of services delivered to clients. 

Moving faster. Engaging smarter. Connecting deeper with our clients 

As a consultant company that is interested in using AI for resource assignment, there are a few things we did to get started: 

• Identifying our needs: What are the specific resource assignment challenges that you are facing? What are your goals for using AI? 
• Choosing an AI solution: There are different AI solutions available for resource assignment. Choose a solution that is right for your company’s needs and budget. 
• Implementing the AI solution: Once you have chosen an AI solution, you will need to implement it within your organization. This may involve training your staff on how to use the solution and integrating it with your existing systems. 
• Monitoring and evaluating the AI solution: Once the AI solution is in place, you should monitor and evaluate its performance to ensure that it is meeting your needs. 

For closure in our first touch with NPL, we can say that it is a powerful tool that can help Perficient’s efficiency by automating tasks such as customer service, data entry, etc. Also, the quality of the deliverables can be improved by identifying errors and inconsistencies in text-based documents, for example, our resumes; finally, the innovation: with this kind of engine, we can still innovate by developing tools and services for our needs. This would improve the customer experience and help the company increase our exposure. 

Because in the end, this is how we are leading digital change: driving real results. globally…

Businesses need to frequently develop new technology products and applications to stay competitive in continuously changing markets with evolving customer expectations. While relying on in-house development capabilities is ideal for some organizations, it is not always feasible.

In the report, Now Tech: Modern Application Development Services, Q1 2022, Forrester states that, “Software is at the core of every business today, but not every company can be a software company.” Developing a strategic partnership with a trusted vendor for modern application development (MAD) services empowers successful delivery and modernization initiatives which drive business value.

Modern Application Development Services Partnerships

Forrester defines MAD services providers as:

“MAD services providers work collaboratively with their clients to create custom modern applications, assist in the transformation and modernization of their clients’ software development practices, and help clients adopt modern practices and technologies.”

According to the report, in Forrester’s June 2021 Service Provider Pulse Survey, 80% of technology decision-makers are seeking external partners to improve self-sufficiency. “When evaluating MAD services offerings, most companies want help to:

• “Deliver modern products and applications…”
• “Speed digital transformation with modern custom development capabilities…”
• “Increase business value as measured by outcome-based metrics.”

Successful modern application development requires organizational and cultural shifts. In the Now Tech report, Forrester states, “MAD is not just about delivery. It is also about transformation and change while learning and reskilling.”

Forrester Now Tech: Modern Application Development Services, Q1 2022 Report

Forrester based its analysis of service providers on two factors: market presence and services functionality. They segmented vendors into three categories, based on MAD services revenue: large, midsize, and small; and five categories based on services functionality and global reach.

Perficient was listed as a midsize vendor in this space ($125 million to $2 billion in annual MAD services revenue) and in the regional systems integrator (RSI) functionality segment. According to the report, RSIs serve two or fewer world regions and offer a fairly comprehensive set of services because they “build products and deliver transformation-led consulting specialized technology.”

Perficient’s listing in this Now Tech report includes our geographic presence (61.7% NA, 12.3% LATAM, 1.2% EMEA, and 24.8% APAC); industry focus areas (healthcare, financial services, and manufacturing); and sample customers  (Enterprise Holdings and GM Financial).
