software Increase in AI-assisted coding is enabling developers to build extensions faster than ever. Microsoft’s Edge team revealed it’s overwhelmed by the surge in submissions. "Rapid adoption of AI-assisted coding is enabling developers to build extensions faster than ever," according to a post by the Edge team.
AI has also seen "more developers building, iterating, and submitting extensions." Microsoft initially tried to address this by introducing an expedited review process for high-quality extensions, but the process has become strained due to increased submissions. "Since then, submission volumes have continued to increase, and our review pipeline has experienced additional strain," the Edge team admits, causing an increase in extension review turnaround time. To tackle this problem, Microsoft has introduced automation for repeatable validation checks, aiming to streamline the review process.
"This doesn’t change our review standards or reduce the checks an extension must pass," the team insists. "Instead, it helps us identify known policy violations and security issues more consistently while allowing reviewers to spend more time on complex cases that benefit from human judgment." The result is a more efficient review process that helps extensions move through the pipeline faster while maintaining high quality and security standards. The Edge team also aims to refresh the "Featured" badge for extensions every 15 days, allowing high-quality extensions to earn recognition sooner and developers to receive faster feedback on their work.
Users benefit from a more up-to-date view of extensions that meet quality standards.
