AI as a Force Multiplier in Enterprise Web Development: A Systematic Review and Collaboration Framework
Abstract
Enterprise web development encompasses distributed architectures, cloud-native infrastructures, and multi-channel user interfaces, generating substantial cognitive demands on engineering teams. This article investigates artificial intelligence as a productivity force multiplier within enterprise development contexts through systematic review of primary empirical studies spanning knowledge management, code engineering, quality assurance, and onboarding workflows. Analysis reveals that retrieval-augmented generation achieves superior factuality ratings compared to parametric-only baselines in knowledge retrieval tasks. Developer interaction studies demonstrate that exploration mode dominates over acceleration mode when engaging with AI code generation tools, with professional developers allocating greater proportions to acceleration mode as expertise increases. Cross-project prediction research establishes that transfer models rarely achieve acceptable precision, recall, and accuracy thresholds simultaneously, underscoring the necessity for context-specific AI augmentation. Whole test suite generation approaches achieve superior branch coverage compared to single-target methods across benchmark evaluations. The contribution comprises a structured human-AI collaboration framework distinguishing augmentation from substitution, incorporating governance mechanisms addressing code security vulnerabilities, documentation inaccuracies, and skill erosion risks. The framework…
