SmartBear, a leading provider of software quality and visibility
solutions, has launched two innovations that fundamentally change
how both API and functional tests are performed, integrating
SmartBear HaloAI, trusted AI-driven technology, and marking a
significant step forward in the company's AI strategy. GenAI
technology, known for automating repetitive and error-prone tasks,
enhances efficiency and reduces manual intervention,
revolutionizing traditional software development and testing
methods. According to Gartner®, “By 2025, 75% of developers will
use generative AI to learn new software development skills.”1
“Our product development goal is to revolutionize software
quality for our customers through smart automation built into our
popular tools,” said Dan Faulkner, Chief Product Officer at
SmartBear. “Customers face ongoing downward pressure on quality
with expectations for speedier releases, resource constraints, and
adoption of AI development tools that generate code quality
challenges. This latest launch of HaloAI featured in our API
contract testing and functional testing is all about our commitment
to enable organizations to produce high quality, reliable software
more efficiently at a time when it is needed more than ever.”
New Solutions Featuring HaloAI:
- PactFlow's AI-Augmented Contract Testing uses HaloAI to
automate the creation and maintenance of API contract tests,
seamlessly integrating with developer tools, accelerating
development, reducing costs, and maintaining current tests with
ongoing code changes.
- TestComplete's AI Test Data Generation enables the generation
of extensive, customized data sets through simple commands,
catering to the nuanced needs of regulated industries. This
streamlines workflows and improves the quality of code and test
data.
“The expanded integration of HaloAI across SmartBear’s hubs not
only enhances its product offerings but also cements its leadership
in AI-driven development," said Francisco Moreno Sanz, Principal
Quality Engineer at Sngular. "With HaloAI powering the creation of
API contract tests, SmartBear API Hub will allow us to accelerate
development cycles, ensure our APIs are always up to date, and
significantly boost developer productivity and code quality."
These enhancements are just the beginning of SmartBear’s broader
strategy to embed AI throughout its customers’ development
pipeline, ensuring software teams have access to cutting-edge
technologies that drive significant productivity gains and
operational efficiencies.
SmartBear is connecting teams’ favorite tools and functionality
in intuitive solution hubs, featuring HaloAI. PactFlow is
integrating into API Hub, delivering quality APIs at scale with
integrated capabilities built for designing, documenting, and
testing APIs with zero context switching. TestComplete is
