Measuring the impact of GitHub Copilot

Ryan Salva // VP of Product // GitHub

Copilot helps developers write better code, faster, and with more joy. We’re continuously
learning—alongside our customers and partners—how to measure that impact. For example,
both GitHub and outside researchers have observed positive impact in controlled experiments
and field studies where Copilot has conferred:

 55% faster task completion using predictive text

 Quality improvements across 8 dimensions (e.g. readability, error-free,
maintainability)
 50% faster time-to-merge

Many enterprises quite reasonably ask, “How do I know Copilot is conferring these benefits
for my team?” To answer that question, this guide will walk you through a framework for
evaluating impact across four stages.
