Scenarios

Application Defect to Validated Technical Fix

Application Issue → Windsurf Codebase Analysis → Relevant Files → Root-Cause Hypothesis → Agent-Assisted Fix → Test → Engineer Validation → Approved Change

Participants use Windsurf to investigate and resolve a representative application problem while ensuring that diagnosis, generated code, and the final fix are validated by a responsible technical professional.

Small IT Requirement to Tested Application Enhancement

Business Requirement → Agent Instruction → Code Change → Application Review → Test Cases → Defect Correction → Technical Approval

Participants experience an end-to-end AI-assisted development workflow and learn where human technical judgement, testing, and approval remain essential before a change progresses toward release.
