Amazon Q Developer: CodeWhisperer Rebranded as Q Developer, Expands Functionality
Amazon’s rebranding of CodeWhisperer to Q Developer implies a tactical move in the company’s approach to AI-powered coding tools. The rebranding is part of Amazon’s broader expansion of its Q family of business-oriented generative AI chatbots.
Understanding and Managing AWS Resources
Q Developer knows AWS account resources. This feature allows you to list and describe your AWS resources using natural language prompts. For example, you can ask Q Developer to list all of your AWS Lambda functions, and it will return the response with a set of your AWS Lambda functions.
Code Transformation and Debugging:
Q Developer can update the language version of your code files. At present, Q Developer supports updating Java 8 and Java 11 code to Java 17. It can also assist in testing and debugging code, helping to identify and fix errors quickly.
Building New Features
With the Q Developer feature development competence, you can go from a natural language prompt to an application feature in a fraction of the time. Q Developer comprehends your workspace structure and breaks down your prompt into logical implementation steps, which can include generating code, tests, API integrations, and more.
Troubleshooting Console Errors
Q Developer can troubleshoot console error messages directly in the AWS Management Console. It provides information about the error and an overview of a potential solution.
