BearQ Adds Sources
SmartBear’s BearQ now finds coverage gaps by pulling requirements and bug reports from Jira.
“requirements and bug reports now flow in from atlassian corp.’s jira so the agent knows what ought to be tested”
BearQ Adds Workflows
Teams can chain jobs together behind a single trigger to automate test runs after builds land in pipelines.
“once a build lands in the continuous integration and delivery pipeline for example bearq can spin up a test environment and run regression tests against it”
Progressive Autonomy
Teams start with manual approvals and gradually hand over more process as confidence grows.
“trust was the top barrier to adopting or scaling autonomous testing named by 23 percent of the 1436 u.s. and u.k. respondents in a survey smartbear released sept. 30”
SmartBear’s AI Strategy
SmartBear aims to connect application behavior with team intentions and test suites through autonomous quality.
“people would still set the guardrails smith said describing the shift as a move beyond autonomous testing toward autonomous quality”
