SmartBear is a developer of enterprise-class software development and testing tools. The company's software uses code review, application programming interface (API) and UI level testing and monitoring across mobile, web and desktop applications, enabling enterprises to automate mundane tasks, easily track and report the success of testing efforts. SmartBear Israel R&D center was established following the acquisition of Aspecto Ltd. With this acquisition, SmartBear will provide development teams with extended end-to-end visibility across the software development lifecycle (SDLC). Developers can use Aspecto’s OpenTelemetry-based observability platform to visualize complex traces, optimize performance, deliver greater collaboration with APIs, better explore microservices, and improve the testing and analysis of staging and production infrastructures. The visibility will enable developers to build competitive apps with the confidence to deploy faster and more often.
