Introducing SmartBear AI Labs: Imagining the Future of Software Quality
The SmartBear community is made up of curious, collaborative builders. They’re developers, testers, creators, and innovators who every day are experimenting with new technologies, customizing workflows, and solving complex problems.
That spirit of curiosity and collaboration is what inspired SmartBear AI Labs, our AI innovation program where customers and partners can work directly with SmartBear to explore new AI-driven technologies, gain early access to emerging tools, and help shape the future of software quality.
Why we started SmartBear AI Labs
AI is reshaping how work gets done, but most quality tools and practices haven’t caught up yet. Software is being built faster than ever, and teams are expected to keep up without sacrificing software quality.
SmartBear AI Labs is developing AI-powered quality tools that make the entire SDLC as intelligent and fast as AI coding, so teams never have to choose between speed of release and confidence in their application integrity.
What you’ll find in SmartBear AI Labs
SmartBear AI Labs gives you early access to the next generation of API lifecycle management and software quality tools. You’ll get hands-on experience with AI capabilities designed to transform testing, improve coverage, and make your workflows more efficient.
From API design to test planning and automation all the way to monitoring and observability, SmartBear AI Labs experiments focus on creating AI insights and capabilities that are measurable, actionable, and trustworthy. And because it’s an open collaboration, you’ll also get a real look into how we’re experimenting, iterating, and learning along the way.
Who should join
SmartBear AI Labs is for builders: anyone invested in making sure their software works as intended. Whether you write code, design tests, author documentation, manage governance, or lead teams, if you care about delivering reliable, high-quality experiences, SmartBear AI Labs is for you.
Explore new tools. Reduce repetitive work. Increase coverage. Influence the next wave of AI innovation in software quality.
How to get involved
We’re inviting teams to explore, test, and shape the future of AI in software delivery. The current ways to get involved in the lab are:
Beta: Autonomous QA
Experience the future of testing by applying to join the private beta for our Autonomous QA solution, where AI agents explore your app, execute tests, and deliver audit reports autonomously. Beta participants gain actionable insights, full traceability, and direct influence over how autonomous testing evolves in SmartBear products. Join the waitlist.
