Recent SmartBear research shows that 70% of teams are already seeing quality degrade with AI-generated code, creating a real bottleneck in the software-development lifecycle (SDLC). As output increases, QA teams are left choosing between delaying releases to validate changes or shipping faster with less confidence in what’s actually working. In this From the Bear Cave clip, SmartBear CEO Dan Faulkner and CMO Kelly Wenzel dig into a growing gap in modern software development: how AI is accelerating code generation but testing and quality validation aren’t scaling with it.

AI-generated code is flooding your pipelines. Your test automation debt is piling up. If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. Velocity can't come at the cost of quality. As AI transforms how we build software, API testing must evolve. Join Justin Collier, Senior Director, Product Management, and Yousaf Nabi, Developer Advocate, to explore the future of API testing in an AI-driven world.

As AI agents begin interacting with APIs, traditional API governance models need to evolve. In this DeveloperWeek session, Derric Gilling (WSO2) explains how organizations can manage and secure agent-driven API consumption using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Unlike human applications, AI agents can generate large volumes of API calls from a single prompt. Without proper controls, this can lead to unexpected costs, security risks, and limited visibility into how APIs are being used.
