Abstract
This bachelor's thesis is a qualitative investigation regarding technologies for generating code, how these are used within large software development companies, as well as who introduces these technologies and how they affect developers' tasks. The investigation consists of four partially structured interviews based on the TAM3 model. These interviews have been thematically analyzed to achieve our results. Theoretical research contributions have been made by linking the results to the zone of proximal development theory to expand on it and see how these techniques relate to it. Practical research contributions are based on the analysis
of results from 'the diffusion of Innovation theory'. This is to see how these technologies are adopted... (More)
This bachelor's thesis is a qualitative investigation regarding technologies for generating code, how these are used within large software development companies, as well as who introduces these technologies and how they affect developers' tasks. The investigation consists of four partially structured interviews based on the TAM3 model. These interviews have been thematically analyzed to achieve our results. Theoretical research contributions have been made by linking the results to the zone of proximal development theory to expand on it and see how these techniques relate to it. Practical research contributions are based on the analysis
of results from 'the diffusion of Innovation theory'. This is to see how these technologies are adopted by large companies within the software development industry. The practical contributions have not been researched before and thus our bachelor's thesis fills a void in the current literature. (Less)
