SmartBear Partners with AWS to Expand Software Quality Tools Access

Software quality solutions provider SmartBear has entered into a strategic collaboration agreement with Amazon Web Services to broaden distribution of its development tools through AWS Marketplace and enhance integration with AWS infrastructure.

The partnership will make SmartBear's software testing and monitoring products more accessible to AWS customers, including API Hub, Reflect, QMetry, and BugSnag. The collaboration aims to address quality assurance challenges as artificial intelligence accelerates code generation across development teams.

Under the agreement, SmartBear will architect its BugSnag error monitoring service to run natively on AWS infrastructure. The company will also deepen integrations between its tools and AWS services, including connections between API Hub and Amazon API Gateway, and Reflect with AWS CodePipeline.

"As AI accelerates code generation, ensuring quality, performance, and security at scale is more critical than ever," said Martin Musierowicz, SmartBear's Chief Revenue Officer, in a statement.

The partnership includes expanded go-to-market efforts for SmartBear solutions through AWS channels. StoneEagle, an automotive industry technology provider, cited improvements in API documentation workflows after implementing SmartBear API Hub with Amazon API Gateway, reducing update times from days to hours.

AWS Senior Manager Allison Johnson said the collaboration helps customers "streamline their development workflows and leverage AI-driven insights to build and deploy better software faster."

SmartBear serves over 16 million developers and software engineers across 32,000 organizations. The Somerville, Massachusetts-based company went public in 2021 and provides testing, monitoring and API management tools for software development teams.

Financial terms of the strategic collaboration agreement were not disclosed.
