Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have tried watsonx for a minimal time but i understand that it would help in developer productivity with code gen and maintaining the code. I personally expect the auto completion of code (IDE does to some extent) but could help in prompting the possible logic that would make the code meaningful. I haven't tried writing unit test with this may be worth trying that sometime soon. Code quality is one of the main aspect which would be worth experimenting with this code assistant.

Pros

Auto complete
Customisable AI behavior
Good for IBM modernisation works

Cons

Suggesting human inputs before concluding
Might be trailing little bit behind the other competetitors
Specific use for IBM centric, could be more generic..

Return on Investment

Ease of use appealing when started
Time can be saved.
Indepth training on the IBM related application / products
