Did you know that 63% of testers are responsible for testing both the front-end and back-end of their applications? Or that API tests are more likely to be automated than GUI tests?

Discover what your peers are doing today in testing – the applications they’re building and the techniques they’re using. Learn more about modern test environments and how many teams are at the ‘tipping point’ of shifting left.

SmartBear collected insights from thousands of developers, testers, and managers worldwide who are passionate about software testing. They openly shared their experiences, insights, and the challenges they face in their day-to-day roles.

Join a panel of SmartBear experts as they walk through the 2017 ‘State of Testing Survey’ and divulge the key trends and observations we uncovered.

If you care about software testing and want to stay updated on the latest industry trends, you’ll want to tune in!

What we’ll cover:

  • Trends in automation and shifting left
  • The applications teams are testing and the techniques they’re using
  • Insights into the future of the industry

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
