AI IDEs or Autonomous Agents? Measuring the Impact of Coding Agents on Software Development

First-adopter agent use raises commits and code volume, but complexity and warnings rise too.

Evidence, context & provenance
Evidence boundaryObservational assignment; output is not delivered value.

Source type, as recorded: Quasi-experimental / matched observation

Editorial use. Use to teach a metrics hierarchy: generated code → integrated change → deployed outcome → customer value.

Author names can be lead-author fields, not complete bylines. Follow the recorded source for the full citation. An index URL is labelled as an index, not silently replaced by an unverified primary-paper link.

Topics. Output versus shipped value · Technical debt and complexity · Evaluation methodology and baselines · Long-running agent execution

Evidence, context & provenance
Evidence boundarySmall participant pool and proxy trust metrics.

ChatGPT: Friend or Foe When Comprehending and Changing Unfamiliar Code

ChatGPT may aid completion of changes while developers still devote most time to reconstructing existing-system behavior.

Evidence, context & provenance
Evidence boundaryTen advanced students; results exploratory and not statistically tested.

Source type, as recorded: Benchmark / controlled laboratory

Editorial use. Preserve human system comprehension, provenance and durable agent context.

Author names can be lead-author fields, not complete bylines. Follow the recorded source for the full citation. An index URL is labelled as an index, not silently replaced by an unverified primary-paper link.

Topics. Independent verification and oracles · Skills formation and teaching · System understanding and rationale

15 recorded source relationships

These retain the graph’s exact relation labels. A connection is not automatically a causal claim or an independent replication.

How do Humans and LLMs Process Confusing Code?

Model perplexity and human confusion can correlate on difficult source lines, suggesting possible code-comprehension diagnostics.

Evidence, context & provenance
Evidence boundaryReused small EEG dataset and one model; correlation not general ability.

Source type, as recorded: Observational / qualitative evidence

Editorial use. Preserve human system comprehension, provenance and durable agent context.

Author names can be lead-author fields, not complete bylines. Follow the recorded source for the full citation. An index URL is labelled as an index, not silently replaced by an unverified primary-paper link.
