SmartBear introduces SmartBear HaloAI, trusted AI-driven technology deploying across its entire product portfolio.
HaloAI harnesses pioneering GenAI technology to tackle complex, real-world problems, enhancing software development and testing by automating repetitive, error-prone tasks that often require manual intervention due to their complexity. Rooted in transparency and trust, HaloAI is more than another coding assistant; it accelerates development, enhances team productivity, and delivers innovative business outcomes, while addressing existing and future talent gaps.
Frank Roe, CEO of SmartBear, said, “HaloAI isn’t just AI; it’s a catalyst for smarter work. With this cutting-edge AI technology, we're not just enhancing the development experience and making life easier for teams; we're transforming it, amplifying creative and strategic abilities and enabling our customers to stay ahead in an ever-evolving tech landscape.”
HaloAI is already delivering value through its recently launched beta program. In the first two weeks of using the AI-driven tech with SmartBear’s Zephyr Scale, over 1,200 testers collectively saved thousands of hours by automating test cases without having to write and debug the scripts previously required for any test automation. Further, a QA team with 500 manual tests averaging five minutes per test were able to automate half of those tests to perform them in five seconds, saving 20 hours of testing per regression cycle.
To simplify the developer experience, SmartBear is connecting teams’ favorite tools and functionality in intuitive solution hubs, featuring HaloAI. This combination delivers visibility for teams to confidently build, test, release, and monitor software that powers great user experiences.
