Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing various sectors, including the software development lifecycle (SDLC). IT leaders are increasingly exploring AI’s potential to automate repetitive tasks and enhance creativity in software development.

AI’s Impact on SDLC

According to a report by OutSystems and KPMG (link), over 84% of industry leaders have integrated AI into their SDLCs, with IT services companies in Europe and America leading the way. The Asia Pacific region, including India, is also catching up.

Globally, 75% of companies use AI for testing and quality assurance, while 70% employ it for security vulnerability detection. A staggering 94% are ready to invest in AI-augmented SDLC management in the next two years.

Challenges and Risks

Despite the benefits, AI integration in SDLC comes with risks like orphan code and hallucinations. Only 56% of companies report improved application quality and performance. Data privacy, security concerns, and regulatory challenges are also significant issues.

India’s Journey in AI Adoption

India’s vast developer community and focus on STEM education create a fertile ground for AI in software development. However, the talent pool is insufficient to meet the growing demand for AI expertise. Alankar Saxena, Co-Founder and CTO of Mudrex, highlights that AI can reduce development time by up to 50%.

Dipal Dutta, CEO of RedoQ, notes the challenge of finding skilled professionals for AI solutions. Vijay Navaluri from Supervity points out that 76% of Indian enterprises are engaged in AI initiatives, but face hurdles in integrating AI into existing workflows.

Indian tech giants like Infosys, Wipro, and TCS are investing heavily in AI R&D. Startups such as Niramai and Uniphore are innovating in AI-driven quality assurance and automated customer interactions.
