Senior engineers name GitHub Copilot, Cypress, DBeaver, Jira and GitLab CI/CD as essential tools shaping enterprise software and AI development.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Dec. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BairesDev^®, a leading nearshore software development company, today revealed the winners of its inaugural Developer’s Choice Awards. The awards spotlight the tools identified by BairesDev’s senior development teams as the most impactful on productivity, quality and delivery velocity across global engineering projects.

This recognition serves as a stamp of approval from BairesDev’s senior developers, who represent the top 1% of tech talent selected from more than 2.5M applications annually. Their experience spans diverse client environments, tech stacks and full lifecycle delivery spanning 130+ industries. Winners are chosen based on these teams’ hands-on experience building enterprise software, AI systems and automation solutions for clients ranging from Fortune 500 companies to fast-scaling startups.

Tools were evaluated based on developer nominations, internal usage data, and project relevance across real-world client engagements. Each winner reflects a combination of qualitative feedback, adoption signals, and satisfaction scores gathered from senior engineers.

2025 Developer’s Choice Awards – Winners by Category:

Best AI Coding Assistant: GitHub Copilot^®
Best Testing & QA Tool: Cypress^®
Best Database Management Tool: DBeaver™
Best Project Management Platform: Jira^®
Best CI/CD Automation Platform: GitLab CI/CD^®

“In a fragmented market, decision-makers need to know which tools reduce friction and reflect what real developers actually use and benefit from,” said Justice Erolin, Chief Technology Officer at BairesDev. “Our teams build complex systems at scale, and these winners represent the 'battle-tested' stack that consistently enables our team to work smarter, faster, and with greater confidence.”

Award selection was based on three pillars:

Integration into active client projects across sectors like fintech, healthtech, logistics, and ecommerce.
Developer satisfaction, ease of use, and measurable impact on productivity.
Relevance to modern engineering challenges, including test automation, AI-assisted development, and CI/CD velocity.

Proof of impact: In a recent initiative, BairesDev engineers leveraged Cypress to streamline testing for an agri-services platform. The solution enabled non-technical team members to run backend systems independently, and later expanded frontend automation, covering 72% of regression testing in under two months.

Winning tools will be spotlighted across BairesDev’s Developer Insight Series, a forthcoming editorial campaign featuring deep dives into adoption trends, real-world use cases, and expert commentary. In addition to badges and digital assets, winners may be invited to participate in interviews, case studies, and cross-promotional opportunities designed to showcase how their platforms are shaping the future of development.
