We found that our AI pair programmer helps developers code up to <a href=\"https:\/\/github.blog\/2022-09-07-research-quantifying-github-copilots-impact-on-developer-productivity-and-happiness\/\">55% faster<\/a> and that it made <a href=\"https:\/\/github.blog\/2023-10-10-research-quantifying-github-copilots-impact-on-code-quality\/\">85% of developers<\/a> feel more confident in their code quality.

Participants included developers who engage in a variety of software development tasks daily, including engineering, design, and testing across a spectrum of software products and services. They hold various positions within their organizations from entry-level roles to team management positions, and may work collaboratively or independently depending on the project and team dynamics.<\/p>\n<p>For the trial, developers were randomly assigned to two groups. One group of developers was given access to GitHub Copilot, while the other group was not. Our objective was to assess the influence of GitHub Copilot on developers&rsquo; experience within the enterprise setting, where they collaborate on multifaceted projects. We collected DevOps telemetry on several output performance metrics that reflect insights into developers&rsquo; regular coding activity.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the initial experiment, we conducted a company-wide adoption analysis, which explored installation rates, generated code acceptance rates, and the time it took developers to accept GitHub Copilot&rsquo;s first coding suggestion. Success was determined by whether they accepted a suggestion from GitHub Copilot or not.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, we surveyed the GitHub Copilot users at Accenture to gain a better understanding of how developers perceived the impact of GitHub Copilot on their workflows. Not only did this survey uncover insights into how and when developers are using GitHub Copilot, but it also indicated an overwhelming improvement in developer satisfaction, which we know to be a key component of the <a href=\"https:\/\/github.blog\/2023-06-08-developer-experience-what-is-it-and-why-should-you-care\/\">developer experience (DevEx)<\/a>. The combination of both telemetry data and the information from the survey provides a full picture for us to understand GitHub Copilot&rsquo;s impact at the enterprise level.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"our-findings\" id=\"our-findings\" ><a class=\"heading-link\" href=\"#our-findings\">Our findings<span class=\"heading-hash pl-2 text-italic text-bold\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"developers-quickly-found-value-in-github-copilot-and-adopted-it-as-part-of-their-daily-toolkit\" id=\"developers-quickly-found-value-in-github-copilot-and-adopted-it-as-part-of-their-daily-toolkit\" ><a class=\"heading-link\" href=\"#developers-quickly-found-value-in-github-copilot-and-adopted-it-as-part-of-their-daily-toolkit\">Developers quickly found value in GitHub Copilot and adopted it as part of their daily toolkit<span class=\"heading-hash pl-2 text-italic text-bold\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/investor\/events\/fy-2024\/earnings-fy-2024-q2.aspx\">More than 50,000 organizations have adopted GitHub Copilot so far<\/a>, but we haven&rsquo;t yet had a clear view into what those adoption rates look like on the individual level. When we dug deeper into the usage patterns of GitHub Copilot among Accenture developers, <strong>67% of respondents reported utilizing GitHub Copilot at least 5 days per week<\/strong>, with an <strong>average usage frequency of 3.4 days per week.<\/strong> Moreover, a substantial 70% of respondents relied on GitHub Copilot for coding tasks in a familiar programming language. This indicates a high level of integration of GitHub Copilot into developers&rsquo; daily workflows, highlighting its importance as a valuable engineering tool and resource.<\/p>\n<p>We also observed that developers were excited to use GitHub Copilot. <strong>81.4% of developers installed the GitHub Copilot IDE extension on the same day<\/strong> that they received a license. And not only were they excited to use it, but getting started was simple and did not provide a barrier to entry.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, <strong>96% of those who installed the IDE extension started receiving and accepting suggestions on the same day.<\/strong> On average, developers took just one minute from seeing their first suggestion to accepting one, too. This was further validated in user surveys, with <strong>43% finding GitHub Copilot &ldquo;extremely easy to use&rdquo; and 51% rating it as &ldquo;extremely useful.&rdquo;<\/strong><\/p>\n<aside class=\"p-4 p-md-6 post-aside--large\"><p>As part of the GitHub Copilot service, we provide the measurement capabilities for our customers to determine gains from Copilot themselves.

When measured in aggregate, the number of pull requests per developer can be used to measure a team&rsquo;s throughput or velocity. Ultimately, an increase in pull requests represents an increase in value delivered, and <strong>Accenture developers saw an 8.69% increase in pull requests.<\/strong> Because each pull request must pass through a code review, the pull request merge rate is an excellent measure of code quality as seen through the eyes of a maintainer or coworker. <strong>Accenture saw a 15% increase to the pull request merge rate,<\/strong> which means that as the volume of pull requests increased, so did the number of pull requests passing code review.<\/p>\n<p>But we don&rsquo;t want to just shift issues downstream and overburden the system with low-quality code. It&rsquo;s one thing for a teammate to assess quality and yet another for new code to successfully complete CI runs where test automation evaluates code quality against deterministic measures. At Accenture, we saw an <strong>84% increase in successful builds<\/strong> suggesting not only that more pull requests were passing through the system, but they were also of higher quality as assessed by both human reviewers and test automation.<\/p>\n<p>By enabling developers to maintain focus and stay in the flow, GitHub Copilot doesn&rsquo;t sacrifice quality for speed. And our findings provide evidence for exactly that.<\/p>\n<p>In our study, <strong>developers accepted around 30% of GitHub Copilot&rsquo;s suggestions<\/strong>. And <strong>90% of the developers<\/strong> reported that they committed code suggested by GitHub Copilot, while <strong>91% of the developers reported that their teams had merged pull requests containing code suggested by GitHub Copilot<\/strong>.
