AI总结:

本研究通过混合方法分析了AI代码助手对开发者生产力影响的多维评估因素,强调长期指标的重要性,为未来研究和工业实践提供参考。

摘要:

衡量开发者生产力是一个既吸引学术研究又引起工业实践关注的话题。在AI代码助手的时代,学术界和工业界更需要了解如何衡量它们对开发者生产力的影响,并重新考虑早期的测量方法和框架是否仍然适用。本研究通过混合方法研究分析了不同评估AI代码助手生产力影响方法的有效性。在BNY Mellon,我们进行了2989份开发者的调查和11次深入访谈。我们的发现表明,需要多方面的方法来衡量AI生产力影响:调查结果显示关于AI工具有用性的矛盾观点,而访谈则揭示出六个不同的因素,涵盖了短期和长期的生产力维度。与以往工作不同,我们的因素强调了长期指标如技术能力与工作所有权的重要性。我们希望这项工作能鼓励未来研究纳入更广泛的人本因素,并支持工业界在评估开发者生产力时采用更全面的方法。

英文摘要:

Measuring developer productivity is a topic that has attracted attention from both academic research and industrial practice. In the age of AI coding assistants, it has become even more important for both academia and industry to understand how to measure their impact on developer productivity, and to reconsider whether earlier measures and frameworks still apply. This study analyzes the validity of different approaches to evaluating the productivity impacts of AI coding assistants by leveraging mixed-method research. At BNY Mellon, we conduct a survey with 2989 developer responses and 11 in-depth interviews. Our findings demonstrate that a multifaceted approach is needed to measure AI productivity impacts: survey results expose conflicting perspectives on AI tool usefulness, while interviews elicit six distinct factors that capture both short-term and long-term dimensions of productivity. In contrast to prior work, our factors highlight the importance of long-term metrics like technical expertise and ownership of work. We hope this work encourages future research to incorporate a broader range of human-centered factors, and supports industry in adopting more holistic approaches to evaluating developer productivity.
