"A booster for productivity, but the quality of advice needs improvement"
4/5
What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

I like GitHub Copilot's context-aware suggestions the most. It doesn't just provide code suggestions for individual lines but also suggests for entire functions and logical structures. It quickly generates repetitive code and boilerplate implementation, saving a lot of time for us and developers. It is very helpful in creating automation scripts and test cases and assists in increasing productivity during development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

Yes, many times GitHub Copilot suggests code with great confidence that appears technically correct but is not correct according to business logic. And in complex use cases, the quality of suggestions becomes inconsistent. The code you generate cannot be used without review; its verification is necessary. I do not keep it in full agenting mode, I still keep it in review mode and properly review whether to proceed or not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"GitHub Copilot Speeds Up Coding with Smooth, Context-Aware Suggestions"
5/5
What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

GitHub Copilot is best at speeding up coding by handling boilerplate and repetitive tasks, so I can focus on solving the real problem.

I also like how it gives context-aware suggestions right inside the editor, which makes coding feel smoother and faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

GitHub Copilot can sometimes be too confident and suggest code that looks right but is subtly wrong or insecure.

It can also encourage overreliance, so you still need to review, test, and understand every suggestion yourself Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Automation with GitHub Copilot"
4.5/5
What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

I use GitHub Copilot for QA automation to write code more prominently and efficiently. It can quickly generate page object models, test assertions, BDD step definitions, and CI/CD snippets. I also appreciate how it helps by providing structured page objects based on existing patterns, reducing my need to look up syntax. Plus, it generates Given/When/Then mappings along with reusable automation hooks with parameterized steps. The initial setup was easy, which was a bonus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

sometimes generated test steps rely on hard waits and weak synchronization Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Coding Partner That Boosts Productivity"
5/5
What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

I love using GitHub Copilot for software development because it helps me immensely when writing code. It learns my patterns and provides inline autocompletion, suggesting code exactly how I would write it, like it can read my mind. This feature is really helpful in resolving confusion about syntax and it saves me a ton of time by preventing the need to write boilerplate code repeatedly. I also appreciate that it can write the logic for me when I'm stuck, and sometimes I can code an entire feature just by pressing Tab. The initial setup was super easy and took less than 10 minutes.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

The pricing was a little expensive, but the value was worth it. If it could be like 25-50% cheaper, it would be a bang for the buck and would make everyone buy it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Outstanding Experience from Start to Finish"
5/5
What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

GitHub Copilot proves to be an amazing tool for coding activities of every day. The implementation is pretty straightforward, and it does not demand a complicated setup. The development environment's integration is significantly seamless and fast. Moreover, it provides handy code suggestions, eliminates duplication of work, and the like. In effect, it turns coding into an easier, quicker, and more pleasant experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

One aspect of GitHub Copilot that I am not really fond of is its occasional provision of incorrect or partial code recommendations. It might be the case that it does not perfectly grasp the project environment and thus comes up with non-optimal solutions. I continue to be in a situation where I have to meticulously review and test the code, which means more effort on my side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Helpful Auto-Suggestions and Snippet Fixes, But Struggles with Larger Code Changes"
3.5/5
What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

The auto-suggestions are really helpful, and the ability to fix specific code snippets works very well. Connecting with GitHub also makes it easier to create PRs and commit code.

It also suggests changes across files which is a very nice feature, once we start writing to import any function/class. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

Auto suggestions are very helpful. Fixing a particular portion (snippets) of code works well, but when I try to apply the same fix by selecting the entire code, a whole file, or an entire project, it doesn’t work as intended, especially with larger codebases.

"Great Code Improvements and Test Cases, but the User Experience Needs Work"
3.5/5
What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

It improves my code and writes sample test cases very well. It also integrates seamlessly with Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

Sometimes it gets stuck in a loop while reviewing code. Also, it’s a bit difficult to provide a local folder reference when we want to give Copilot the right context. Another issue is that when I ask it to avoid referencing an .md file(copilot-instructions file), it still ends up referring to the same file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
