## AI 摘要

Salesforce 在全球数千名工程师中推广 Cursor 后，开发速度实现两位数增长（超 30%），代码质量同步提升。内部数据显示，团队周期时间、缺陷数量和吞吐量均显著改善，某团队遗留代码覆盖率时间更缩短 85%。工程师采用路径分化：初级开发者借其理解复杂代码库，资深工程师则从自动化繁琐任务起步，逐步扩展至高频使用。公司认为 AI 编程工具对软件开发生命周期的改造才刚刚开始。

Salesforce has been building software for more than 25 years. It maintains a codebase that stretches across decades featuring every kind of system a modern tech company can accumulate. Thousands of engineers across the globe ship new products on top of it every day.

That's what makes the rapid adoption of Cursor inside Salesforce so notable. When an organization this central to the industry shifts how it builds software, it points at where the whole field is heading.

Today, thousands of engineers at Salesforce use Cursor as part of their daily workflow. Salesforce has already seen double-digit gains in velocity and code quality.

I would say that it's 0 to 1 in terms of how Cursor has transformed the way our developers use tools to improve quality of the product.

#Two paths toward Cursor adoption

Before Cursor arrived, Salesforce had already invested in its own internal AI tools. But Salesforce wanted its engineers to have a range of options, so it made Cursor available.

Junior engineers were the first adopters. Many had started their careers during the pandemic, when remote work made standard ways of learning a codebase unavailable. Cursor helped them catch up.

They didn't have senior engineers sitting with them and explaining a lot of things. Cursor helps them actually understand existing code better so that they are able to contribute more effectively.

For senior engineers, Appajodu observed that they first proved out Cursor on the boring, tedious tasks that are inefficient to tackle manually. And as they experienced the value of automating these tasks and built trust in the tool, these senior engineers expanded their use cases quickly to higher value tasks.

Senior engineers start with the places that feel boring, and once they see the value there, they're ready to use AI coding for other use cases.

Adoption followed the same pattern across teams: a small group would try Cursor, see the impact, and the rest would follow. Within a few months, Cursor went from a new tool at Salesforce to one that was more widely used in day-to-day work. And over time, AI proliferated into every aspect of the SDLC, not just code writing, according to Appajodu.

#Three metrics that matter most

Salesforce is careful about how it evaluates engineering work. The company measures pace and reliability using three key metrics:

Cycle time

Quality (bug count)

Throughput

Salesforce already had dashboards that tracked these metrics across thousands of engineers, making the impact of Cursor visible almost immediately. Cursor helped Salesforce make large improvements in all three areas. One team at Salesforce also reduced legacy code coverage time by 85%.

We have seen more than double-digit increases in all of these metrics.

#Shipping better products than ever

We have seen a huge improvement in the quality of products.

To take one measure, engineers are now generating far more unit tests with Cursor than before, enhancing the reliability of what Salesforce ships.

AI is already reshaping how software is planned, built, and maintained, and Appajodu believes the real transformation is still ahead: "We are just at the starting point of the journey. It's only going to get better."
