As the year comes to an end, we at SmartBear are thrilled to share some exciting news and milestones we have achieved in 2023. From being recognized as a Visionary in the 2023 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for API Management to launching our integrated tools, we’ve been dedicated to delivering industry-leading solutions for developers and organizations.
As we dive into the ever-evolving realm of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), we discover a critical component in the digital landscape. APIs have transcended their role as mere technological connectors, transforming into strategic assets that drive the modern digital economy. Ensuring effective API governance is becoming increasingly vital to guarantee consistent, secure, and scalable development.
We are thrilled to announce the launch of the new and improved Zephyr Squad, a test management solution providing core test planning and execution tools within Jira. Whether you are a seasoned QA professional, a developer, or a project manager, this update will make your testing process faster, more efficient, and more user-friendly than ever before.
Here at SmartBear, our motto is that quality isn’t just the goal, it’s the whole point. The software development process is intricate and dynamic, with constant changes being made to meet evolving user requirements and address defects. However, with these changes come potential risks. One of the most significant challenges in software development is ensuring that making modifications to an application does not inadvertently break existing functionality.
We are excited to announce SmartBear has been named a Visionary in the 2023 Magic Quadrant by Gartner for API Management. A Magic Quadrant is a tool that provides a graphical competitive positioning of technology providers to help you make smart investment decisions. The evaluation was based on specific criteria that analyzed the company’s overall completeness of vision and ability to execute.
Mobile applications are becoming increasingly complex, and developers are tasked with delivering new and innovative experiences to their users. Part of this includes delivering new ways in which customers engage with your UI. Mobile users today are more advanced than ever; they have high levels of technical know-how and have less barriers of entry for trying something new. This gives mobile developers more opportunities to be creative and deliver app experiences that are new or unique.
As the holiday season approaches, businesses worldwide are gearing up for the busiest and most lucrative time of the year. In today's digitally driven marketplace, the flawless performance of your APIs is crucial for maintaining and boosting business revenue during this time. As consumers increasingly rely on online shopping and mobile apps for their holiday purchases, any API-related glitches or slowdowns can lead to frustrated customers and abandoned transactions, resulting in lost sales.
