Delivering quality across an entire application is the number one goal of all modern testing teams – but speed is their number one challenge. Development teams move too fast to rely on traditional testing techniques, sometimes limiting QA cycles to only a few days or even hours.

The real answer is to ensure that testing happens at the rapid pace teams require is to test at multiple layers of the application – both at the UI, API, and Data layers.

Join our webinar to learn how extensively testing both the UI and API layer of your application can help ensure that bugs are caught earlier in the software delivery lifecycle, faster than ever. You’ll leave knowing:

The Benefits of Test Automation
Combining API & UI Testing
Best Practices of UI & API Testing

Join SmartBear’s Vyshnavi Dabbir and Yousaf Nabi for a live session on the moment your API testing stops matching what’s running in production, and what to do before that gap becomes an outage. On September 15, 2026, we’ll walk through why 63% of APIs drift from their tested behavior within 90 days, the specific failure patterns behind most real-world breakdowns, and how testing

Same Spec, Zero Drift: Keeping API Tests in Sync with AI and MCP

Same Spec, Zero Drift: Keeping API Tests in Sync with AI and MCP

The challenge Your OpenAPI spec changes on a Tuesday. Your test suite finds three sprints later, usually in production. That gap between what your API actually does and what your tests assume it does is the sync gap. It is expensive. 41% of APIs drift within 30 days, and teams still lose a quarter to half of their QA capacity just keeping test suites current

API Performance Testing in the Age of AI-Generated Code | Webinar

As developers build and release APIs faster in an Agentic AI assisted world, many enterprises are having to reshape existing API testing to ensure their APIs don’t lose quality and scale. Existing functional tests and unit tests may not suffice in identifying API quality introduced via agentic development. ReadyAPI’s performance test module can build an extensive test suite based off existing infrastructure to capture minute slow-downs or bottlenecks. By building these tests into
