Ready to find your path? Try new things. Share experiences. And discover what you truly enjoy.

Background

Rigs and integration is responsible for the overall integration of the development simulators and offers a unique opportunity to gain insight in how a complex aircraft system works. We work in close cooperation with our stakeholders and with teamwork, innovation and curiosity we develop the simulators of today and tomorrow.

AI models such as ChatGPT from Open AI or Gemini from Google are now presented as capable of writing software solving complex problems, as well as generating test cases and more complex test scenarios. The possibilities seems to be endless, and might change the software industry at large in many ways. If the model is capable of generating source code, to what extent is it also capable of reviewing source code – doing some of the work and therefore saving time for experienced software engineers?

Description of the thesis

This MSc thesis aims at evaluating how AI models can support code reviews, and how well the model’s comments align with the expectations from experienced software engineers in industry. The study shall include a study of related previous work, interviews with senior engineers in software development at Saab Aeronautics, and evaluation using one or several AI models relevant for software code reviewing.
