White Paper
Modern Software Engineering
Capgemini argues that software engineering is entering an agentic era in which AI evolves from coding assistant to active collaborator across the entire development lifecycle. AI agents can support research, documentation, coding, testing, DevOps, maintenance and modernization, allowing developers to shift from performing routine tasks toward orchestrating, validating and governing AI-driven workflows. Realizing these gains requires more than new tools: organizations need modern engineering platforms, strong governance, human oversight, new skills and redesigned operating models. The goal is to scale AI-enabled development while improving speed, quality, security and compliance and delivering measurable business value.
