SmartBear was named a Leader in the 2018 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Software Test Automation. Gartner, the world’s leading information technology research and advisory company, has recognized SmartBear for the fourth consecutive year, with this being the first as a Leader.

Amidst emerging trends in DevOps and Agile Development, SmartBear has solidified its commitment to accelerate delivery by enabling continuous testing, making it a key player in this space.

SmartBear has encouraged teams to adopt intelligent automation practices across the entire software delivery lifecycle, providing a portfolio of tools to easily design, test, and monitor at both the API and UI layer such as TestComplete, TestLeft, Hiptest, ReadyAPI, and CrossBrowserTesting.

CrossBrowserTesting is proud to be part of SmartBear since being acquired in 2016. The CrossBrowserTesting provides the ability to run Selenium- and Appium-based tests across over 1500 real desktop and mobile devices in the cloud. Additionally, capabilities for record and replay, remote interactive testing and debugging, and visual testing in CrossBrowserTesting make it an asset to teams are practicing both manual and automated testing.

The strong support for open source communities like Selenium in CrossBrowserTesting as well as the OpenAPI Initiative, Swagger, and SoapUI has further propelled the success of SmartBear. By contributing to these initiatives, SmartBear has a crucial hand in the open source tools that are used by thousands of software teams every day.

Additionally, new offerings over the last year have broadened the portfolio and enabled SmartBear to lead the test automation market. With the acquisitions of Zephyr for test management and Hiptest for continuous testing with native BDD support, as well as the development of LoadNinja, SmartBear is innovating at an unparalleled speed.

“We’re proud to be recognized by Gartner as a Leader in the Magic Quadrant,” said Christian Wright, Chief Product Officer and Executive GM at SmartBear. “We believe our Leader position reaffirms our vision of enabling quality throughout the software development lifecycle through a comprehensive test automation portfolio. We see Gartner’s recognition reflects the excellent feedback we receive from our vast customer base and our teams’ ability to deliver open, collaborative, and easy-to-use tools to our users.”

Did You Know? CrossBrowserTesting Has Open Source

crossbrowsertesting open source

So many great projects are open source, and we realize just how important it is to the software community over here at CrossBrowserTesting. Many of our integrations are with open source projects, predominately Selenium testing; and as contributors ourselves, we know how important affordable testing and development tools can be to the success of those projects.

That’s why CrossBrowserTesting offers a free plan specifically for open source projects, allowing you full access to the largest device lab in the cloud at no cost. We want to make sure the open source community is aware of this opportunity has access to the tools that will help release new developments faster and with higher quality.

This means that all 1500+ of our browsers are available for use, so as changes are made and integrations are added, you can find bugs more quickly in the configurations your customers use and fix them on-the-spot with developer tools. And not only will we let you test manually on our enormous browser selection, we’ll throw in automation minutes as well. Enjoy automated screenshot comparisons, Record & Replay, testing with Selenium, and parallel testing with the most comprehensive browser testing tool on the market.

Open source relies on a community of dedicated contributors to help make quality software. As a part of SmartBear’s ongoing commitment to the open source community, we hope that providing open source plans for all-in-one web testing means that we can also play a larger part in our contribution to these projects.

Earlier this year, SmartBear received the highest ranking for open source-based testing acceleration in the 2018 Critical Capabilities for Software Test Automation published by Gartner, the world’s leading information technology research and advisory company. SmartBear has demonstrated a strong commitment to open source projects such as Selenium, OpenAPI Specification (OAS), Swagger tools, and SoapUI, resulting in SmartBear receiving the highest score. SmartBear recognizes that software development teams are increasingly using open source tools and frameworks, and is committed to supporting these organizations to obtain as much success as possible.
