We are on a mission to radically transform the software development lifecycle.
One of the pillars of the Crowdbotics platform and one of the keys to enabling a CodeOps practice is the ability to match requirements with existing code. No matter how unique an application, there will invariably be some code that has already been written elsewhere. It might be as simple as an authentication dialog, or it might be for access to a particular database. For many applications, up to 70% of the code can be sourced from reusable code modules, but nearly every application can benefit from at least some existing code.
There are four key elements that make up the mechanics of identifying reusable code:
As a foundation of the matching process, it’s evident why improving the quality of PRDs is so pivotal to the success of a CodeOps practice. However, while high-quality PRDs are necessary, they are not sufficient by themselves. A centralized repository for the code as well as a mechanism to match requirements with code are also required.
There are two types of libraries:
These libraries are used by Match-AI to identify code modules that fulfill requirements in a PRD.
The private library only contains the code module metadata. The actual code associated with the module resides in your current repository, Github for instance. The Crowdbotics private library contains information about the capabilities of the module, as well as other important metadata (e.g. author, date, version, etc.), and finally it includes a pointer to the location of the source code for that module.
Finally the Crowdbotics platform includes tools that aid developers in building new modules and promoting them to the private library, as well as tools for an administrator to manage the library.
On the next page, Assemble, we’ll address what is stored in each library – code modules.
Like PRD-AI, Match-AI is made possible by the latest generation of AI. While simple in nature, Match-AI does an enormous amount of heavy lifting. It inspects every feature detail identified in the project’s PRD and then searches the public and private libraries to find the best code module to fulfill that requirement. If it finds a module, it will add it to the feature description in the PRD and it will include it in a consolidated project plan for the application. In concept, Match-AI is a rather simple step, but from a computer science perspective, it represents an enormous hurdle that few have been able to navigate. The introduction of the latest generation of AI models is what makes this finally possible.
