If you weren’t able to join us for part one of our three-part Unified Insights series, you missed out on a great DevOps Huddle! But don’t worry, there are two more episodes on the way, and you can still catch a replay.

In episode 18, the panelists provided valuable insights for organizations that are considering using GitHub Copilot or that are already using it and want to measure its impact.

What is GitHub Copilot and Why Does it Matter?

GitHub Copilot suggests code completions and performs like a virtual pair programmer by suggesting code snippets or answering questions. GitHub Copilot promises:

  • Increased Productivity
  • Better Quality 
  • Time Savings

It is important to measure Copilot usage to understand its effectiveness and impact on developer productivity. How do you know if you’re increasing productivity, improving code quality, and helping developers save time? 

In this DevOps Huddle episode, our panelists gave first-hand accounts of how they use GitHub Copilot, and some of the challenges that organizations face trying to gain and measure the promised benefits.

As an answer to these common challenges, Opsera offers a dashboard that can measure Copilot usage and other development metrics. The dashboard can help organizations track developer adoption, acceptance rate, quality of suggestions, and more. 

We also discussed the importance of measuring downstream metrics, such as deployment frequency and lead time for change. These metrics can help organizations understand how Copilot is impacting their overall software delivery process
