Learn a new method of object-oriented analysis called generative analysis and keep your skill-set on pace with how generative AI is transforming the face of software engineering

Generative AI is revolutionizing many industries, including software engineering. Many aspects of manual coding are becoming automated, and the skills needed by software engineers, developers, and analysts are evolving. Anyone who writes or works with code will need to produce precise analysis artifacts to feed the AI code generation process. Enter generative analysis: a precise, structured way to for software engineers, programmers, and analysts to transition to this new, AI-enhanced, software engineering world.

In Generative Analysis, experts Jim Arlow and Ila Neustadt leverage literate modeling, M++, and multivalent logic to lay out a precise and structured, step-by-step approach to object-oriented analysis that produces clear and unambiguous results suitable for further processing into code by generative AI systems such as Copilot, ChatGPT, and Gemini.

• Generative analysis artifacts feed generative AIs to generate code and UML models
• Techniques feed into and refine each other until a precise analysis definition of a software system is achieved
• Well-defined process has definite milestones and end points to eliminate "analysis paralysis"

This guide teaches advanced, precise, and sophisticated analysis techniques that will allow you to thrive in the new world of software engineering with generative AI.
