Intelligent Assistance in German Software Development: A Survey

Although many environments explicitly or implicitly use ideas from intelligent assistance research, users aren't always aware of its existence and potential. A survey of 135 German participants sheds light on the usage of and demand for intelligent assistance in software engineering activities. The project aimed to clarify intelligent assistance concepts, describe such systems' motivation, review examples of intelligent assistance, and present the results of a survey about the attitude toward and the demand for intelligent assistance in German software organizations.
