🔹 1. Requirements Engineering

AI tools help karte hain requirements ko analyze aur validate karne me:

• Natural Language Processing (NLP) se user stories aur requirements automatically extract kiye ja sakte hain.

• AI tools inconsistencies aur ambiguities detect karte hain.

• Example: IBM’s Watson Assistant can analyze user feedback and suggest improvements in requirements.

Impact:

• Reduced manual errors

• Faster requirement analysis

• Better alignment with user needs

---

🔹 2. Software Design & Architecture

AI ka use design patterns aur system architecture decisions me hota hai:

• Predictive models suggest karte hain best-fit architecture based on past projects.

• Automated UML generation tools: AI UML diagrams automatically create kar sakti hai.

• Example: Deep learning models analyze previous designs to recommend modular structures.

Impact:

• Design errors reduce hote hain

• Faster prototyping

• Optimized system architecture

---

🔹 3. Code Generation & Development

AI programming ko faster aur error-free banata hai:

• Code completion tools: GitHub Copilot, TabNine

• Bug prediction: AI analyze karta hai code aur potential bugs highlight karta hai

• Refactoring: AI code ko maintainable aur optimized banata hai

Impact:

• Faster development

• Reduced coding errors

• Improved code quality

---

🔹 4. Testing & Quality Assurance

AI testing ko smarter aur efficient banata hai:

• Automated test case generation based on requirements

• Predictive defect analysis: Kaunsa module most error-prone hai identify karna

• Regression testing automation

• Visual testing: AI UI inconsistencies detect karta hai

Impact:

• Reduced testing time

• Higher coverage and quality

• Cost-effective bug detection

---

🔹 5. Project Management

AI helps project managers in:

• Predicting delivery dates (based on historical data)

• Resource allocation optimization

• Risk management: AI predict karta hai potential delays aur bottlenecks

Impact:

• Smarter decision-making
