From a technological perspective, self-taught junior program-
mers and future professionals in the software industry often
don’t have full access to the methods used by some companies
to integrate AI into software development across different
SDLC phases. This highlights the need for studies focused on
the appropriate use of AI tools.
although with notable limitations in understanding deep seman-
tics.Another relevant study [10], compares several automatic
code completion tools based on language models, including Co-
pilot, CodeWhisperer, and Tabnine. Their study revealed sig-
nificant differences in accuracy, contextual comprehension, and
compatibility among different programming languages. This
comparison showed that although these tools share a common
purpose, their effectiveness varies considerably depending on
the development environment, type of task performed, and pro-
grammer experience level.
From an industrial perspective, freelancers and small, medium,
and large software companies around the world, continue inte-
grating innovative AI methods and techniques into their work-
flows based on their own experiments. However, those who
have not yet done so may lose time, limit quality development,
or even lose money while trying to perfect this collaboration
with LLMs. For this reason, this study is justified.
On the other hand, in 2023 [11], presented a research study fo-
cused on analyzing the most frequent errors made by language
models in code generation. The study concluded that although
tools like Copilot or ChatGPT can be helpful, their outputs must
be critically evaluated to avoid structural and logical mistakes.
Additionally, organizations such as the OECD [12] and IEEE
have proposed classification frameworks aimed at ensuring
transparency, traceability, and accountability in AI-based sys-
tems, which are useful for evaluating the role of tools such as
ChatGPT within the software development life cycle.
Finally, this study aims to contribute to the development of
methodological strategies for programmers, researchers, and
software engineering companies that facilitate the progressive
and sustainable integration of AI tools into the SDLC. It seeks
to help them manage prompt requests across various LLMs they
use, while also enabling them to maintain a knowledge base of
prompts applied at different development phases, with the pur-
pose of reusing these artifacts in multiple solutions.
In 2023 [13], presented a study focused on identifying best
practices and AI tools integrated into the different phases of the
software development life cycle (SDLC), including design au-
tomation, code review, and implementation. The research high-
lighted that incorporating AI techniques improves productivity
and software quality through automated analysis and intelligent
support during system development. In 2024, the study “Heu-
ristics applied in artificial intelligence, a systematic review” [14]
aimed to analyze the role of heuristic methods in optimizing ar-
tificial intelligence processes. This work identifies how these
strategies contribute to improving the efficiency and accuracy
of intelligent models in various areas of technological develop-
ment. This approach is relevant to the present study, as it coin-
cides with the search for mechanisms that allow for a more ef-
ficient and structured use of artificial intelligence within the
software development life cycle. In 2024, Sajja and Thakur pre-
sented the study “Integrating Generative AI into the Software
Development Lifecycle: Impacts on Code Quality and Mainte-
nance” [15], in which they analyze the incorporation of gener-
ative artificial intelligence tools throughout the different phases
RELATED WORKS.
Traditionally, the field of software development has been tradi-
tionally dominated by human logic, experience, and structured
reasoning. However, with significant technological advance-
ments in recent years and the exponential emergence of AI, this
discipline has begun to integrating automated models to assist
programmers with simple tasks.
Despite this remarkable accomplishment of Goostman's devel-
opment team and the milestone in passing the famous Turing
test, the reaction of the scientific community was not unani-
mous. One of the most significant contributions comes from
researchers [9] who introduced Codex, the foundational model
behind the GitHub Copilot. This model, trained in vast amounts
of source code, demonstrated the ability to automatically gen-
erate code in various programming languages, addressing tasks
ranging from simple to complex. The study evaluated its effi-
ciency through competitive programming tests and found that
Codex solved approximately 37 % of the presented problems,
highlighting its potential as a developer assistance tool,
