New The State of Software Quality | API 2023 Report

It's an API-first world.
Are you equipped to keep up?

API quality at speed is the key to delivering at today’s pace. But what about tomorrow? To scale current and future APIs, you need an integrated process that optimizes your development workflow. With SmartBear, you can quickly launch a scalable API program with a central platform for OpenAPI standards, API design, and collaboration. All of this is coupled with a single UI for functional, performance, and security testing. So you can deliver high quality APls faster, no matter what the future throws at you.

Use Cases

Easy to try. Easy to use.

Design

Enforce API Standards

With embedded style guides, design APIs that align to internal or industry standard with governance to ensure compliance

“SwaggerHub is supporting the initiative of API standardization because we see good features from SwaggerHub in collaboration, or the custom rules styles checking and also good activity involvement in the OpenAPI initiative to be a good fit to support the standards setting activities.”

— Peter Sun | Industry Standards Manager, IATA

Test

Reduce Time and Effort

Reuse designs to run codeless end-to-end tests in parallel before the API is developed.

“When we’re designing a new API with SwaggerHub, we look at what the expected peak load is and use ReadyAPI to generate a test to simulate that.”

— Greg Cantlon | Head of Delivery, Triquestra

Develop

Improve Quality

Use a single source of truth for your API to maintain quality from design to production.

“I really like the platform approach that SmartBear has taken. The product integrate with each other and are easy to use. The tool set has allowed us to deliver high quality software and save time on our projects feedback. With the entire suite of SmartBear tools in play, we are improving release quality and receiving positive customer feedback.”

— Greg Cantlon | Head of Delivery, Triquestra

Deploy

Built for Automation & Integration

Our solutions are built to integrate with a wide range of tools and platforms across the API ecosystem so you can deploy with ease.

“We have this API lifecycle and in order to execute the lifecycle we have the toolings around SwaggerHub which allows for this kind of open integration.”

— Samir Amzani | Director Platform Engineering, Adidas

Monitor

A Digital Early Warning Signal

Track application performance 24x7 to resolve issues before they impact your digital platform.

“We can conduct tests before applications go live to ensure they are ready to transact business and then monitor them continuously in case any future conditions impact their performance. With AlertSite tracking application performance 24x7, we are able to resolve issues well before they impact our business partners and customers.”

— Jeff Palmiero | Manager of Application Performance Monitoring, Raymond James

Enforce API Standards

Standardize design styles across teams

Increase API adoption through quality. Take a design-first approach to ensure your APIs align with the original business purpose. Leverage SwaggerHub’s embedded style guide and custom rules to ensure OpenAPI compliance and that your APIs conform to all internal and industry standards.

Shift Testing Left

Model & virtualize according to standards

Leverage your OpenAPI definition to shift-left – enabling teams to test earlier in the API workflow. Virtualizing critical APIs and microservices can drastically help reduce dependencies and delays during the delivery pipeline. Handle changes faster by easily ingesting the updated API definition and using it to refactor test cases.
