NEW SmartBear launches cross-platform web and mobile app testing on BitBar!

Quality isn’t just a goal. It’s the whole point.

With rapid transformation comes risk. Make sure your software works when it's needed most.

More APls. More problems.

If you build APIs without standards, when your demand goes up, so does risk. And you still need to keep track of them.

A better start and finish.

With standards and testing in place, high quality comes faster. And with monitoring, you’ll know of issues before customers do.

What we recommend:

Manual testing will always be.

Automation can’t cover everything. But as Agile and DevOps continue to grow, timelines shorten. So what’s the best way to use test automation?

Identify errors faster.

Test automation’s role is to help you assure quality amongst constant change. The best tools seamlessly fall in step with your current process, then elevate it.

What we recommend:

Load testing is a hurdle.

It's essential, but time-consuming. And tempting to skip. But even if your app is perfect 99% of the time, it's the 1% everyone remembers.

Avoid the crash.

Real-life heavy loads aren't "if." They're "when." Fortunately, load testing is faster and easier than it used to be. Our tools adhere to your process and reveal the true bottlenecks.

What we recommend:

Too much data binds you.

Between all the test data and people involved, deciding how to start a project can be paralyzing.

Clear the path.

Gain a better idea of what your project goals can be with our test management and BDD tools. They’ll help guide your decisions and get the best out of everyone’s time.

Customer Stories

Driving growth – big & small

American Red Cross

The Red Cross sharepoint site was overloaded with traffic during disasters, crippling its information feed within the organization at critical times. AlertSite instantly helped, notifying them of intranet issues so they could focus more on their real jobs — saving lives.

Products Used:

Cisco Systems

A geographically distributed team needed a solid communication way to review code. Collaborator — with its intuitive interface and ease of use — was a game changer. Before, only a fraction of code was reviewed, with everyone required to be in the same location. Now reviewing code is efficient, easy, and frequent.

Products Used:

TBC Bank

TBC Bank needed an automation tool that would help them reduce the time it took to prep test cases. TestComplete's easy script creation allowed their team of non-developers to create scripts in no time. Discover more about boosting team efficiency with script and scriptless test creation.

Products Used:

Triquestra

This omnichannel specialist needed a seamless customer experience. We helped them incorporate Design-First strategies and automation. APIs are now easier for partners to consume, while regression cycles shortened from days to hours.

Products Used:

Adidas

World-renowned sportswear company actively manages over 400 APIs. Their goal is an API- and design-first approach to speed up delivery, so they chose SwaggerHub. Now they have a central platform for all of their API contracts, and a tool that integrates seamlessly across their API lifecycle.

Products Used:

Flowbird

Company had to integrate all Helsinki transportation (buses, trams, metros, local railways, ferries) for commuters. With 8 teams in 3 countries, they needed a deeper level of collaboration. CucumberStudio with BDD created standardized terminology, living documentation, and fit 3,300+ functional tests into only 1,700 steps.

Products Used:

Honda

The leading auto manufacturer relied on Excel docs for managing test cases for their factories. They had problems with consistency, deadlines, and linking with other locations. Zephyr Squad helped them sync up, running 545 test cases across the world, and collaborating in a way they never thought possible.

Products Used:

Mozilla

For a mobile browser, Mozilla needed a full set of tests on a variety of physical phones. The first tests didn't go well. With BitBar, they set up a fast, reliable, and repeatable process for tests, shrinking a 75-hour test cycle down to 5 hours.

SmartBear Answers Developers’ Call for All-in-one Web...

FAQ

Got questions? We’ve got answers.

Why SmartBear?

There are so many solutions out there, it’s paralyzing to know where to start. Our advantage? Our range and emphasis on quality. Any company, of any size, of any maturity, doesn’t have to make hard decisions – they can just start with us.

The SmartBear selection of tools run the full gamut of the software development lifecycle, all of which place quality at a premium. We work with just about anything else in your tech stack, plus our tools are designed to work especially well with each other.
Why is quality such a big deal?

Because 1) if it doesn't work well, then it doesn't work at all. And 2) the complexity of applications isn't going anywhere but up. Quality is what determines whether or not software works. We've all done it: you download an app, it freezes for 2 seconds, so you delete it and move on. If you don't have time for lousy quality, then neither do your customers. The entire world depends on technology, and that fact gets stronger by the day. Quality is essential.
Does test automation replace manual testing?

Manual testing will probably never go away, because every piece of software has its own ideosyncracies that require more creative types of testing or exploration. But test automation is there to handle the massive amounts of testing that would be otherwise be long, tedious, and prone to error. When software was simpler, manual testing could usually cover it, no problem. But think of the difference between websites in 1998 and 2020. Now apply that to the rest of the world. To complete with the inherent complexity of today's technology requires test automation.
How do I start towards automation?

For such a momentous occasion, we've created the Test Automation Starter Kit, which will escort you exactly where you're looking to go.
Doesn't automation negatively affect quality?

There's an old saying that came out when test automation first started: "Test automation enables you to release bad software faster than ever before." It's a saying we're all well aware of here. That's why every tool we have is guided by the mantra "quality first." Bad tests get bad results, so what's the point of testing if it's not testing the correct things?
What kind of free resources do you have available?

Glad you asked. We have free training for all of our tools, a passionate online community where other members will be glad to help you with any specific issues, and even an ROI calculator that gives you the numbers on why code review can only help.
What kind of techniques can help my team with collaboration?

You should check out the concept of behavior-driven development, which has revolutionized the process by which teams work together and develop software.
How do you help customers with DevOps?

We start with the knowledge that DevOps is more than just a set of tools and practices that help teams work together. It's a journey. And you can start that journey here.

Quality isn’t just a goal. It’s the whole point.

With rapid transformation comes risk. Make sure your software works when it's needed most.
