Engineering the Path to Autonomous Quality

AI has rewritten the rules of software development. Developers can now generate, fix, and ship code in seconds. This is transformative, but as shared by SmartBear CEO Dan Faulkner, “The tools that help us build software are advancing much faster than the tools that ensure we can trust it.” For software quality to keep up with AI coding, today’s tools must evolve to remain effective. SmartBear is answering this call.

Automating PDF Testing: From Manual Checks to Comprehensive Validation

PDF documents play a critical role in various industries, serving as the final output for customer-facing documents such as invoices, contracts, and compliance reports. However, testing these documents poses significant challenges due to their complex nature, which includes mixed content, dynamic data, and strict formatting requirements. Manual testing of PDFs is not only time-consuming but also prone to human error, making automation an essential component of a robust testing strategy.

Join us as we explore how Automated Financial Systems (AFS) – the company behind AFSVision accounting software used by America's top 100 banks – revolutionized their testing approach by empowering business users to contribute to API testing efforts.

Building Ecosystems for Humans and Agents: The New Consumer of APIs

For years, APIs have been designed with one primary audience in mind: developers. The focus has been on making APIs discoverable, consistent, and easy for humans to consume. But in the AI era, a new audience has arrived: AI agents. As detailed in SmartBear’s newly published AI-Enabled API Lifecycle Report, this shift demands that organizations rethink how APIs are designed, tested, and managed to serve both human developers and intelligent systems effectively.

Why Non-Code-Based Testing Must Become More Autonomous

As coding has become more autonomous, so has code-based testing. AI agents can now write functions, generate code-based tests, and validate logic in the same workflow. But the other half of the testing equation, the system-level validation of non-code-based testing, hasn’t kept up. That disconnect is becoming one of the most critical constraints in modern software delivery.
