Published 13 hours ago via Business Wire

SmartBear API Hub and SmartBear Insight Hub allow development teams to scale seamlessly, integrate workflows, and leverage comprehensive quality and developer observability tools

SmartBear, a leading provider of software quality and visibility solutions, announced the availability of SmartBear API Hub featuring HaloAI, an advanced AI-driven capability being introduced across SmartBear's product portfolio, and SmartBear Insight Hub. SmartBear has consolidated its most trusted developer tools into dynamic, modular hubs that streamline workflows and scale seamlessly as teams grow. With the flexibility to adopt only what they need, when they need it, teams can integrate their preferred workflows without sacrificing usability or quality.

“Development teams are overwhelmed by fragmented tools and vendor sprawl, slowing their ability to innovate and deliver software that meets today’s high standards,” said Dan Faulkner, CEO of SmartBear. “With API Hub and Insight Hub, we’re redefining what’s possible for software quality—removing complexity, amplifying insights, and enabling teams to scale confidently without compromise.”

API Hub, powered by Swagger, streamlines the API development process for modern teams seeking to deliver valuable and reliable APIs. API Hub includes an integrated set of robust tools that simplifies the API lifecycle with API Hub for Design (formerly SwaggerHub), API Hub for Portal (formerly SwaggerHub Portal), API Hub for Contract Testing (formerly PactFlow), and API Hub for Explore (formerly SwaggerHub Explore).

With hundreds of teams already utilizing API Hub, developers gain the flexibility to scale and ensure robust APIs at every stage of development.

“From fragmented tools to the constant need for scalability, development teams face immense challenges today,” said Melinda Ballou, Research Director for Agile ALM, Quality, and Portfolio Strategies at IDC. “Solutions like SmartBear Insight Hub and API Hub, featuring HaloAI, can address these challenges in an increasingly complex software landscape. By uniting API management and developer observability, SmartBear is helping teams build intelligent, reliable applications that can scale using a modular approach.”

Insight Hub delivers powerful observability features, giving development teams the visibility they need to monitor application performance and reliability at scale. By providing real-time insights into user behavior and application performance, development teams are empowered to identify issues early and optimize their workflows to meet high-performance standards. Insight Hub includes the robust error monitoring, performance monitoring, and distributed tracing capabilities of BugSnag.

SmartBear Test Hub, coming later, integrates advanced test automation and management designed to streamline testing and drive continuous quality improvements. By enabling end-to-end testing that includes UI functional, visual, and performance testing, Test Hub will equip QA teams with the tools they need to deploy resilient software quickly and effectively. Last month, SmartBear acquired AI-enabled digital quality platform provider, QMetry, accelerating Test Hub’s availability.

SmartBear’s hubs support growth at any stage, offering flexibility, usability, and targeted integrations. API Hub, recognized with the 2025 DEVIES Award for API Management & Support, exemplifies SmartBear’s commitment to innovation in software quality. As a Leader in the 2024 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for API Management and a trusted partner to global brands like Adobe, JetBlue, and Microsoft, SmartBear designs its hubs with customer feedback to enable seamless integration across API management, application insights, and future testing capabilities.
