ABSTRACT
This research paper is focused into the transformative role of LLM Chains ( Large Language Model Chains) in revolutionizing the
software development pipeline from start till the end, specifically on the important phases of the birth of a new software from
prototyping to production. LLM Chains are characterized by their advanced capabilities of understanding languages whether they
are natural languages or programming languages. The paper explores the potential of LLM Chain’s full capabilities in the software
ideation and concept validation phase to streamline it and proceed to the next phases with more factual understanding of the
concept and the deliverables of the project. Furthermore, it investigates how LLM Chains contribute to accelerating the overall
software development pipeline, impacting the idea, concept, design, coding, testing, and deployment. Through an extensive review
of the literature and analysis of case studies as well as researching on currently available products and sources, this paper unveils
the uses, impact, advantages and challenges associated with harnessing the power of LLM Chains in the software development
process. As we navigate in the ever-evolving landscape of technology and artificial intelligence with LLM’s leading the way, this
research aims to provide insights and a deep explanation of the present and future implications of leveraging LLMs and LLM
Chains for efficient and innovative software development.
