“In a world where Generative AI combined with economic pressures are reshaping software development and delivery, development teams are increasingly challenged, and software quality as a whole can suffer,” said Cynthia Gumbert, CMO at SmartBear. “SmartBear Connect provides software team managers exposure to peers, industry leaders, and emerging tooling to help them stay ahead and thrive in this dynamic landscape. By combining expert knowledge with real-world experiences and hands-on support, attendees will learn how to better optimize their end-to-end software testing and quality processes, leverage AI, optimize their API processes, and drive innovation and growth to better serve their customers.”

The event begins with Dan Faulkner, Chief Product Officer, unveiling SmartBear’s latest innovations and roadmap to empower development teams and guide companies through these times. He is joined by speakers, Erik Wilde, Principal Consultant at INNOQ; Ryan Bolt, Global IT Software Engineer Director and CoE Lead at Boston Consulting Group (BCG); and Peter Jin, Director, Technology QA at The Wendy’s Company, alongside several experts from SmartBear, Amazon Web Services, Atlassian, and Sonatype, sharing insights.
To simplify the developer experience, SmartBear is connecting more than 20 of its popular tools and associated functionality in intuitive solution hubs, including SmartBear API Hub, SmartBear Insight Hub, and SmartBear Test Hub, which features HaloAI, an advanced AI‑driven capability being introduced across SmartBear’s product portfolio. Product Labs and Deep Dives at Connect feature HaloAI, as well as the evolution of BugSnag within Insight Hub, simplifying testing with Test Hub, and transforming API development by integrating advanced testing and AI capabilities with API Hub. Additional session tracks are focused on Customer Experience, Digital Transformation, and Generative AI.
