Selection of Tools for AI-Enabled Integrated Development Environments
Abstract
Technological advancements have driven the rapid growth of software tools such as Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) enabled by Artificial Intelligence (AI), offering developers unlimited opportunities to tackle problems, automate tasks, and enhance creativity in various areas, from data analysis to content generation, making their selection not an easy task. The objective of this article is to evaluate three AI-enabled IDE tools, such as Visual Studio Code, NetBeans, and Apple Xcode, using the DESMET Feature Analysis Evaluation method, with their respective metrics obtained from the Goal Question Metric (GQM) method. The identification of the feature set is strongly oriented by the characteristics of the ISO 25010 and ISO 25059 standards. In this way, an objective and precise mechanism is provided to select the most suitable AI-enabled IDE tool for the needs of each software project.
