CoPilot-Driven Transformation: Progress & Strategy

Empowering Development Across Accessibility, Testing, Security & Feature Delivery

Strategic Overview: CoPilot Implementation

  • **Objective:** Leverage GitHub CoPilot to optimize software delivery across 4 pillars – Accessibility, Testing, Security & Feature Development.
  • **Current Initiatives:** - Building Prompt Template Libraries for all pillars - Embedding CoPilot into end-to-end workflows (TDD, Compliance, Docs) - VS Code Agent Mode under evaluation - Repository-driven Security and Accessibility compliance in progress
  • **Involved Teams:** - Impelsys Architects, Tech & Dev Leads - NCLEX & PHX sub-teams (Prompt Design) - Internal CoPilot Task Force - Liaison with PSE Associate Director for accelerated adoption
  • **Benefits So Far:** - Increased UT coverage via CP prompts - Secure code analysis using Blackduck & SonarQube - Accessible system design aligning with WCAG 2.1 AA

Progress Across Pillars & Next Steps

  • **Accessibility:** - Prompts aligned with WCAG 2.1 AA - Focus on HTML semantics, color, mobility, ARIA - Cypress testing under review
  • **Testing:** - UTs via TDD & regular workflows - Mandatory prompt standards defined - Focus on edge cases and untested code
  • **Security:** - CoPilot-first review of vulnerabilities - DoD integration under evaluation - Focus on Blackduck, SonarQube error analysis
  • **Feature Development:** - Full feature prototyping underway - Prompts built for Tech Plans, TDD, CICD **Next Steps:** - Expand prompt coverage - Weekly demos to showcase progress - Finalize prompt standards - Drive adoption with ongoing stakeholder engagement
