AI Code Assistants (Transitioning to AI Coding Agents)
Gartner defines AI code assistants as tools that generate and analyze software code and configuration. They use foundation models like LLMs, program-understanding technology, or both. Developers engage with these assistants to generate, analyze, debug, test, fix, refactor code, search dependencies, update libraries, create documentation, understand code, upgrade versions, translate languages and review commits. They help developers learn and explore codebases and access related information, such as frameworks and tools. AI code assistants integrate with developer environments, code editors, command-line terminals, chat interfaces, project management tools, monitoring, logging and deployment tools. Some are customized to an organization’s specific codebase and documentation. AI code assistants enhance software developers’ experience by boosting their efficiency, accelerating application development, minimizing cognitive overload, amplifying their problem-solving skills, enabling faster learning, fostering creativity and maintaining their state of flow.

Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) Tools
Application security posture management (ASPM) tools continuously manage application risk through collection, analysis and prioritization of security issues from across the software life cycle. They ingest data from multiple sources, maintain an inventory of all software within an organization, correlate and analyze findings for easier interpretation, triage and remediation. They enable the enforcement of security policies and facilitate the remediation of security issues while offering a comprehensive view of risk across applications.

Application Security Testing
Gartner defines the application security testing (AST) market as consisting of providers of products that enable organizations to assess applications for the presence and management of risk. These products identify risk by evaluating source code, performing runtime tests and inspecting supply chain components. AST products can be integrated throughout development workflows for continuous assessment or be used to perform ad hoc evaluations. They enable organizations to manage application risks by providing an integrated set of capabilities for risk identification, prioritization and triage, policy evaluation and enforcement, and remediation assistance. Market offerings are available in on-premises, SaaS and hybrid delivery models. Organizations leverage AST products to assess applications for the presence of security vulnerabilities and other risks (e.g., legal and operational) throughout their life cycle. These assessments are used to measure and manage the risks within individual applications, application components or groups of applications in the context of their business criticality and other key attributes (e.g., environment, sensitive data handling, etc.). AST products further enable organizations to evaluate software for compliance with internal policies as well as regulatory requirements established by governments or authoritative industry groups.

Code Review Tools
Code review tools are software applications that help developers review and improve code quality by examining code changes, identifying issues, and ensuring adherence to standards. These tools enhance collaboration and knowledge sharing among team members, making the codebase more maintainable and reliable. Key features include enhancing code quality by automatically checking for coding standards, bugs, and security vulnerabilities. These tools allow reviewers to provide clear, actionable feedback through inline comments and streamline the integration of code changes via pull requests or merge requests. Typical users include developers, team leads, and quality assurance engineers who collaborate to maintain high code quality and streamline the development process.

DevOps Platforms (Transitioning to DevSecOps Platforms)
Gartner defines DevOps platforms as those that provide fully integrated and orchestrated capabilities to enable continuous delivery of software using agile and DevOps practices. The capabilities span the development and delivery life cycle built around the continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline, including planning, creation, artifact management, security, quality engineering, change management, compliance, environment management, deployment and monitoring. DevOps platforms support team collaboration, consistency, tool simplification and measurement of software delivery metrics. They are delivered primarily as cloud-hosted services with some options for on-premises deployment. DevOps platforms simplify the creation, maintenance and management of the components required for the delivery of various types of modern software. Platforms create common workflows and data models, simplify user access, provide production-like development and test environments, and provide a consistent user experience (UX) to reduce cognitive load. They lead to improved visibility, auditability and traceability for the software delivery value stream. This end-to-end view encourages a systems-thinking mindset and accelerates feedback loops. Organizations use DevOps platforms to minimize tool friction resulting from complex toolchains, manual handoffs and lack of consistent visibility throughout the software development life cycle (SDLC). This enables product teams to deliver faster customer value without compromising quality. The DevOps platforms market reflects the consolidation of technologies across development, security, infrastructure and operations to streamline software delivery.

Developer Productivity Insight Platforms
Gartner defines developer productivity insight platforms as solutions that provide software engineering leaders with data-driven visibility into the engineering team’s use of time and resources, operational effectiveness, and progress on deliverables. This enables software engineering leaders and their teams to make smarter business decisions, resulting in higher developer productivity. Developer productivity insight platforms must be capable of ingesting and analyzing the abundant data created by common engineering tools and systems. They must provide rich, tailored, and role-specific user experiences to help leaders more easily identify constraints, spot important trends, and gain contextual insights. Developer productivity insight platforms are used by software engineering leaders and their teams to better understand how software solutions are being built and delivered. Teams can more easily see where they are spending time, how they are approaching code quality (in the form of code reviews), and better understand team flow through key metrics like deployment frequency and cycle time. These platforms serve as a “single source of truth” for engineering process data, and provide a unified, comprehensive and transparent view of the engineering processes. Key engineering metrics for delivering digital products include team productivity and flow, business alignment, software quality, and operations effectiveness.

Enterprise Agile Planning Tools
Gartner defines enterprise agile planning (EAP) tools as products that enable organizations to scale their agile practices to support a holistic enterprise view. These tools act as a hub for defining, planning, managing and deploying work. They also serve as an information hub for the disparate islands of metrics from the full life cycle. Just as agile is an evolution of development methodologies, EAP tools are an evolution of project-/team-centric tools. They support a business-outcome-driven approach to managing the full life cycle of agile product delivery at scale.

Software Supply Chain Security
Gartner defines software supply chain security (SSCS) tools as those that enable the building of secure software by protecting against compromises during development and delivery. These protections extend to source code, developer identities, development tools, delivery pipelines, and postdeployment patches. SSCS tools reduce third-party risks through policy-based curation of dependencies, software composition analysis (SCA) and software bill of materials (SBOM) inspection. They ensure artifact provenance and traceability with signing and verification as they pass through development and delivery pipelines. SSCS tools support SaaS and hybrid deployment models, and complement DevOps platforms in improving the organization’s DevSecOps maturity.
