How to make full use of the SmartBear toolset
Guides|10 May 2023
SmartBear's software testing, monitoring, and developer tools streamline your software development lifecycle. The tools work both as a standalone solution, as well as being able to intercommunicate with each other for a better overall outcome for your business. This allows you to jump in with just one tool to meet their current requirements. As and when your needs expand, SmartBear can provide solutions that work with your existing tools and continue to improve the visibility and quality of your Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC).
How to use the SmartBear tools across the development lifecycle
Testing
If you're looking for automated UI testing of a mobile app, start with Testcomplete.
TestComplete is a UI test automation tool that lets you test every desktop, web, and mobile application.
Ensure the quality of your application without sacrificing speed or agility with an easy-to-use, GUI test automation tool. Our AI-powered object recognition engine and script or scriptless flexibility are unmatched, letting you test every desktop, web, and mobile application with ease.
Validation
Use BitBar to validate your application across a wider variety of platforms. Use any framework to run manual or automated tests on thousands of real devices.
If you wish to validate your UI testing by also checking against the app's API, use ReadyAPI, an API quality platform that accelerates functional, security, and load testing right inside your CI/CD pipeline.
Test management
If you need to plan for and manage your test efforts using Zephyr. This covers test management, reporting, and gaining insight into your test coverage.
Look for bugs post-deployment
To then gain even more insight into how the application is performing after deployment use BugSnag which became part of the SmartBear family in 2021. BugSnag is an error-monitoring tool that allows your developers to identify, prioritise and replicate bugs in a time-efficient manner.
