Context Setting
What's the Business Imperative?

• Microsoft is funding the use of GitHub Copilot licenses for all the vendors having a valid vendor (v-) ID.

• Accenture has experimented internally, and we have seen up to 50% productivity gains (commits) from our
internal CIO study of 400 engineers using GitHub CoPilot (Nov 2023)

• Independent external pilot programs have proven that GitHub Copilot supports faster completion times,
conserves developers’ mental energy, helps them focus on more satisfying work, and ultimately find
more fun in the coding they do.

• Presently the CoPilot adoption in the account is negligible, and we are commencing a drive to increase the
adoption and usage among our developers.
Potential Use Cases for GitHub CoPilot adoption
Onboarding Efficiency/Speed Quality Improvement

❑ Explain existing code ❑ Unit Test creation ❑ Test data generation

❑ Code documentation ❑ Code Analysis ❑ Security Analysis

❑ Code Generation ❑ Code Refactoring

❑ Pull Request Summaries ❑ Defect Detection

❑ Code Translation ❑ Architecture Patterns


Capabilities and Limitations observed for GitHub Copilot
Useful Capabilities:

1. Code explanations and refactoring are good


2. It is useful in finding potential bugs in the code
3. Suggests fixes for issues in the code
4. Can implement functions for generic tasks in the code such as modifying or transforming data in
objects.

Limitations:

1. The responses may not always be completely correct. The developers still need to validate and test
for the response generated by GitHub copilot.
2. It is not very efficient in writing test cases and covering all possible scenarios but can provide a
good starting point with some standard test cases to start with.

All suggestions by the CoPilot need to be validated before implementing
