Virtual services are changing the way teams are developing and testing applications across various industries. While SmartBear's ServiceV solution makes it simple to build and run these virtual services locally, deploying them to be used by other teams opens up the power of virtualization to an entire organization.

 Zephyr for Jira is the leading native application that resides in Atlassian’s Jira Software bringing full featured test management capabilities to any Jira project. Join us to review the benefits of moving to Data Center and see how Zephyr for Jira is used with it.

Have a tour around ReadyAPI as we explore its tools designed for functional testing (SoapUI Pro), load testing (LoadUI Pro), and service virtualization (ServiceV Pro) of RESTful and SOAP APIs.

REST is a popular choice of an API architecture. Learn the basics of how RESTful services work and see how to interact with them in ReadyAPI. 

Learn how your team can employ winning strategies to maximize the benefits of test management with Jira.

With a solid API Monitoring strategy and practice in place, it becomes easier to find and fix issues rapidly, as well as increasing the amount of feedback so your teams can continuously improve. In fact, our State of API Survey found that teams that prioritize API Monitoring as a strategy are able to resolve API issues in less than 24 hours.

According to our latest State of API report, API performance is seen as a top-factor in the success of an API program. With teams shifting to CI/CD and DevOps delivery at a rapid pace, performance testing can still be a major bottleneck to most teams. Siloed performance engineering teams are unable to keep up with the rapid pace of modern software delivery - many organizations still run load tests outside of the pipeline and only when holiday season comes around.

Test automation for both the API and UI layers is a must-have skill in 2019. APIs are inescapable in today's software architecture - acting as the glue to link together disparate data to provide a wide variety of services for users on one digital platform. API testing is truly the sweet spot of testing modern software applications to exponentially increase their test coverage, testing thousands of scenarios in a matter of seconds.

The State of API Report is designed to establish benchmarks for the API industry regarding the methodologies, practices, and tools used by software teams to plan, design, develop, test, document, and monitor APIs in 2019.

Thanks for being with the SmartBear Community. We've prepared a short report with the major 2018 highlights.
