AI is now an active partner in software development. While AI won’t replace developers, it’s transforming the way developers write, review, and maintain code. As AI-generated code becomes more prevalent in the software development lifecycle, the fundamentals of code quality and security are more critical than they have ever been. We must ensure that all code, whether human or AI-generated, meets our standards for quality, security, and maintainability.

In this talk, we’ll discuss the evolving SDLC landscape in 2025 and examine how traditional code analysis tools and AI can work together synergistically. We’ll also discuss practical strategies for confronting this ever-changing landscape with confidence and supercharging software development in this new world.
