Core Concepts
Large language models (LLMs) can significantly improve user story quality in agile software development.
Abstract
In agile software development, maintaining high-quality user stories is crucial but challenging. Large language models (LLMs) offer a promising solution for automating and enhancing user story quality. The study explores the implementation of an Autonomous LLM-based Agent System (ALAS) at Austrian Post Group IT to improve user story quality. The research demonstrates the potential of LLMs in enhancing user stories, contributing to AI's role in Agile development. Various frameworks and criteria exist for assessing the quality of user stories, emphasizing clarity, completeness, correctness, and testability. Leveraging LLMs in requirements engineering tasks shows promise for improving software development processes. Research on industrial implementation and performance evaluation of LLMs remains limited, highlighting the need for further exploration. The study evaluates ALAS's effectiveness in improving user story quality within agile teams at Austrian Post Group IT.
