BenchmarksSecure containerized execution with runtime isolation, network policies, and firewalls.
Tools: Kubernetes, gVisor | Metric: Isolation score
SecurityAuto-generates Python functions from docstrings; boosts developer efficiency.
Metric: Functional correctness | Effort: Developer testing hours
Dev ExperienceSeq2seq methods create maintainable docstrings and developer docs.
Metric: Human qualitative score | Effort: Annotation time
DocsChallenges in long dependency chains and variable binding; requires diagnostics.
Metric: Failure rates | Effort: Debugging time
RisksBias, misalignment, and insecure generation risks; needs audits and policy.
Metric: Incidents | Effort: Oversight hours
GovernanceProductivity and workforce impacts; consider adoption scenarios and upskilling.
Metric: Productivity | Effort: Survey & analysis
