Background

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. But are these models really ready to be part of a team of software developers, including the capability to write code that can be easily read and understood by human programmers (i.e. writing clean code)

Description of the thesis

This MSc thesis aims at evaluating how AI models are used in the best way to generate source code corresponding to the characteristics considered to be most important to human software engineers to be able to read and understand the source code. 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 generation of source code.
