Leveraging Large Language Models in Software Development Lifecycle
Date: Friday, March 28, 2025
Time: 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Location: Erie Hall, Room 3123
The advent of AI-driven technologies is revolutionizing software engineering, automating complex tasks like generating user story and code generation, program comprehension, bug detection, and maintenance. Among these advancements, large language models (LLMs), such as GPT, have emerged as transformative tools, enabling natural language-based code generation, refactoring, and documentation. These technologies not only enhance developer productivity but also reduce errors, improve decision-making, and accelerate development timelines.
In this talk, I will explore how AI and LLMs are leveraged to create innovative tools and techniques that streamline and enhance software engineering workflows. I will discuss the benefits these technologies bring to developers, as well as the challenges they introduce, including issues of scalability, explainability, trust, and ethics. By addressing these challenges, we can foster a collaborative future where human expertise and AI-driven solutions seamlessly integrate to produce reliable, efficient, and high-quality software.
Dr. Banani Roy is Assistant Professor and Director of the Interactive Software Engineering and Analytics Lab at the Department of Computer Science, University of Saskatchewan. She has been researching human-centric software development and renovation, and software analytics towards building human-centric tools and techniques for reliable, scalable, sustainable, and cost-effective software development, maintenance, and evolution. Recently, she received the prestigious 'Advising Excellence' award from the Graduate Students’ Association of the University of Saskatchewan. Last year, she received a similar award from the Computer Science Graduate Council. These two awards highlight her passion and sincerity toward her graduate students. She has worked or has been working with over 40 graduate and undergraduate students with high-quality publications, and research awards such as Best Paper award and Best Poster awards along with her students also winning Research Excellence Awards (MSc and PhD), Geddes Awards (MSc and PhD), 75th Anniversary Scholarships (PhD) and so on. She is often involved in conference organization, most recently as Program Co-Chair of SCAM 2022 and General Chair of IWSC 2023. She received her Ph.D. from Queen’s University, Canada, in the area of Interactive Software Engineering.
