From AI chaos to agentic QA, ft. Andy Weir, author of The Martian and Project Hail Mary

Oct 22, 2026

10x faster coding. Same QA. Until now.

You're coding faster with AI. But if your agents are siloed and disconnected, those gains aren’t yet showing up in your quality or delivery – it's getting lost in the handoffs.

Join SmartBear for a live demonstration of the connected agentic SDLC. See how BearQ extends beyond creating tests to coordinating quality work across Jira, GitHub, and AI-powered workflows – detecting issues, triggering the right next action, and carrying context from one agent to the next.

The event will also feature an exclusive live Q&A with Andy Weir, bestselling author of The Martian and Project Hail Mary. A former software engineer, Andy will share his perspective on solving unfamiliar problems, testing assumptions and building trust as software teams navigate increasingly autonomous development.
