Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The development of source code for computer programs is time-consuming due to the complexity of integrating large amounts of code with varying security properties, and existing tools do not adequately ensure security or provide contextually relevant suggestions for developers.
Innovation Solution
An automatic and predictive source code generation system using a design inspector tool that leverages artificial intelligence, specifically trained recurrent neural networks, to analyze code diagrams and provide contextually relevant auto-complete suggestions for security parameters, improving the integration of secure source code into existing architectures.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a developer manually creates and integrates source code from large amounts of available code, then the code can be customized with specific security properties, but the development time and effort increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service by automatically generating secure source code from architectural diagrams without requiring manual coding. The AI model analyzes the diagram and autonomously produces code with appropriate security properties, eliminating the need for developers to manually create and integrate code while maintaining security requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-generating secure code templates and patterns based on the architectural design before actual development begins. The AI model prepares contextually relevant code suggestions in advance, allowing developers to simply review and accept rather than write code from scratch.
2Productivity
If existing code integration tools are used to assist with syntax and programming aspects, then coding efficiency improves, but security verification and contextual relevance are not adequately addressed
Solution Approach 1:
The system achieves multi-functionality by combining multiple capabilities into a single tool: it provides syntax assistance, security verification, and contextual code generation simultaneously. The AI model analyzes both the architectural context and security requirements while generating code, eliminating the need for separate tools for each function.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by continuously analyzing the generated code against security requirements and architectural constraints. The AI model verifies security properties during code generation and provides corrections or warnings if security standards are not met, ensuring reliability while maintaining productivity.
3Manufacturing precision
If developers manually ensure code correctness, syntax accuracy, and integration with libraries, then code quality improves, but the complexity and effort of the development process increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically ensuring code correctness, syntax accuracy, and proper integration. The AI model independently verifies these quality aspects and generates corrected code when needed, reducing developer burden while maintaining high code quality standards.
Solution Approach 2:
The system acts as an intermediary between the developer's architectural intent and the final implemented code. It mediates the translation process by automatically handling syntax corrections, library integrations, and quality assurances, simplifying the development process while ensuring code quality.
Data Source
AI summary
A design inspector tool generates secure source code related to stencils and design elements of an architecture diagram. The design inspector tool may retrieve source code from a source code repository that includes source code that is relevant to the stencils and design elements implemented by the design inspector tool. When or after a user modifies the source code, the design inspector tool feeds contextual information associated with the stencils and the design elements into a trained machine learning logic. The trained machine learning logic processes the contextual information to retrieve contextually relevant auto complete secure code suggestions from the source code repository. The contextually relevant auto complete source code suggestions may be presented to the user as an option for replacing or augmenting the modified source code.
