Using AI to improve and enhance software quality with SmartBear

SmartBear aims to revolutionize software quality by incorporating AI technologies into its product offerings, which include tools for API lifecycle management, application testing, and performance monitoring.

“The purpose of SmartBear as a company is to revolutionize software quality,” says Dan Faulkner, Chief Product and Technology Officer at SmartBear. “Our mission is all about improving and enhancing software quality. We think that's a persistent, global, horizontal challenge, and that's what we're all about.”

Faulkner discusses the shift toward generative AI (GenAI) to boost non-developer testers' productivity, reduce developer workload, and enhance testing capabilities in areas like visual regression, mobile applications, and API contract testing. Faulkner also outlinesSmartBear's roadmap for integrating AI into future testing and documentation processes. Faulkner says, “We think there's a whole new realm of productivity that GenAI opens up in the testing space.”
