10x faster coding. Same QA. Until now. You're coding faster with AI. But if your agents are siloed and disconnected, those gains aren’t yet showing up in your quality or delivery – it's getting lost in the handoffs. Join SmartBear for a live demonstration of the connected agentic SDLC. See how BearQ extends beyond creating tests to coordinating quality work across Jira, GitHub, and AI-powered workflows – detecting issues, triggering the right next action, and carrying context from one agent to the next.

Kong Context Mesh composes APIs, data, and documents into a single MCP interface that AI agents can call directly, with no custom harness or extra instructions. Built on Kong Konnect, it supports different authentication strategies and data structures, and avoids context window bloat through progressive disclosure and on-the-fly execution. Agents discover tools just in time and retrieve only the context needed for the task. The demo connects internal APIs and external MCP servers, then uses Claude Code to complete a multi-source task.

Agents are easy to build and hard to measure. When your company runs hundreds or thousands of them, hand-written evals can’t keep up, and it’s unclear which agents are correct, efficient, and ready for users. In this conversation, Ryan Yackel, SVP of Product Marketing, and Andrew Demers, Product Manager for Agent Score at Tricentis Labs, explain how to measure agent quality, score agents automatically, and trace issues back to behavior.

One developer burned through 300 million AI tokens in a single week. The payoff was far less impressive. For Todd Trevillion, it's a striking example of what can happen when AI adoption outpaces the controls needed to manage it. And with autonomous AI agents beginning to make decisions on behalf of businesses, the stakes are getting higher.
