By now, most teams experimenting with AI-augmented testing have started with narrow, tactical use cases: writing test cases faster, summarizing logs, or tagging defects. These are useful — and they build trust in the tech. But true value emerges when you stop thinking of agents as plug-ins, and start thinking of them as a virtual QA team, a set of coordinated roles that evolve how testing is done, how it’s governed, and how it delivers value across the delivery lifecycle.

We’re proud to share that Gartner has recognized SmartBear as a Visionary in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for API Management. We believe this recognition reflects our dedication to API development teams and to delivering practical solutions that drive excellence. APIs are essential, allowing businesses to move faster, integrate easily, and deliver the best experiences for their customers.

Every development cycle, QA test, and sandbox refresh becomes a potential compliance violation. Or worse, it could lead to security gaps for bad actors to exploit.

Gherkin CI integration transforms BDD scenarios into automated pipeline tests that catch issues early and maintain quality throughout deployment. Start integrating your BDD scenarios into automated pipelines today to accelerate delivery without sacrificing quality.

You’ve clicked on a link, and you wait. And wait. And wait. You wouldn't stay, and neither would your customers. Slow applications are more than just a minor issue in the cutthroat digital world of today; they may harm your brand, user loyalty, and revenue. This is where performance testing comes in. It's not a single, isolated step but a critical, ongoing practice that runs across the entire software development lifecycle (SDLC).

Software teams today face increasing pressure to deliver high-quality applications at speed. Continuous testing, test automation, and traceability are no longer optional — they’re must-haves for scaling development. Tools like Xray provide the structure and visibility teams need, but their success ultimately depends on how effectively people use them. That’s where Xray Academy comes in.

Your CEO just announced the company’s AI-first strategy and the product team is shipping AI features faster than ever.
