Synopsis

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing software development by introducing intelligent automation at various stages of the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC). This study presents a structured overview of how AI techniques such as Natural Language Processing (NLP), Machine Learning (ML), and Deep Learning (DL) are being integrated to automate requirements gathering, code generation, testing, and maintenance. The primary objective is to explore the impact of AI on enhancing software quality, reducing development time, and improving decision-making across SDLC phases. The findings indicate a substantial efficiency gain, error reduction, and better scalability when AI-based automation tools are employed strategically. Moreover, this research identifies challenges such as data dependency, interpretability issues, and tool maturity, offering a roadmap for future enhancements.
