As AI tools like GitHub Copilot become part of the developer workflow, the question shifts from “Should we use it?” to “How much is it helping?” That’s where Waydev comes in.
While Copilot boosts coding speed and developer satisfaction, it’s hard to quantify that impact without data. Waydev gives engineering leaders the visibility they need to measure Copilot’s effect across productivity, onboarding, output, and engagement at scale.
Here’s how.
What Copilot Changes:
Copilot speeds up development by suggesting context-aware code as you type. For most engineers, it reduces repetitive work and accelerates delivery.
How Waydev Measures It:
Waydev tracks metrics like Cycle Time and Coding Time to show how quickly code moves from idea to production. If these numbers drop after adopting Copilot, it’s a strong sign that productivity is up.
What Copilot Changes:
New hires no longer need to figure everything out from scratch. Copilot helps them write production-ready code faster by providing in-context guidance.
How Waydev Measures It:
You’ll see this in the time it takes new developers to make their first commit or first successful merge. A shorter ramp-up period signals that Copilot is making onboarding easier, and faster.
What Copilot Changes:
With less friction and more confidence, engineers commit more often. That helps maintain momentum and improves visibility across the team.
How Waydev Measures It:
Waydev monitors commit frequency over time. An upward trend after adopting Copilot suggests that engineers are moving faster and shipping in smaller, more consistent chunks.
What Copilot Changes:
Coding feels more interactive with AI assistance. Developers spend more focused time in their editors, and often report feeling more motivated.
How Waydev Measures It:
Look at metrics like Active Coding Days. If the team is coding more consistently, that’s a good sign that engagement is up. Waydev helps you track this at both the individual and team level.
GitHub Copilot can unlock serious gains in speed, quality, and developer satisfaction — but only if you can measure the impact. With Waydev, you don’t have to guess. You get real data on how AI is reshaping your engineering team’s performance.
As AI tools continue to evolve, combining them with real-time analytics gives you a competitive edge: helping your team move faster, onboard better, and stay more engaged.
