Editing Idea:Human-AI Software Development Continuum (section)

== Research Foundation ==

=== Core Research Questions ===

The framework emerged from investigation of a comprehensive set of research questions<ref>Comprehensive Research Question Analysis. (2025). ''AI-Human Development Research Repository''. 50-question investigation framework.</ref> addressing:

* '''Capability Assessment:''' How do AI systems compare to human developers across technical and cognitive dimensions?
* '''Task Allocation:''' Which development tasks are optimally performed by humans versus AI systems?
* '''Integration Strategies:''' What organizational and technical approaches enable effective human-AI collaboration?
* '''Future Trajectories:''' How will the relative capabilities of humans and AI systems evolve over time?

=== Methodological Approach ===

The research employed a multi-threaded investigation methodology combining:

* '''Academic Literature Review:''' Systematic analysis of computer science, organizational behavior, and human factors research
* '''Industry Trend Analysis:''' Examination of developer surveys, productivity studies, and tool adoption patterns  
* '''Comparative Framework Development:''' Creation of structured models for capability assessment and optimization
* '''Empirical Validation:''' Testing of theoretical frameworks against real-world implementation data
