Load testing engine from SmartBear added to its TestComplete tool

SmartBear has integrated the load testing engine of LoadNinja into its award-winning automated testing tool, TestComplete. Testers can now re-use their functional tests and run them as a load test in a single workflow, optimizing efficiency and productivity, enhancing test coverage, and reducing costs – solving the pain of needing point solutions to run a complete UI testing suite.

"By integrating load testing capabilities into TestComplete, SmartBear is empowering its customers to enhance software quality through streamlined testing workflows. With the ability to automate both functional and load testing from a single location, our customers can now conduct thorough and efficient testing, ensuring their applications perform reliably under heavy loads," said Prashant Mohan, Senior Director of Product Management at SmartBear.

This integration allows testers to quickly convert existing functional tests into load tests, providing a faster and more efficient way to prepare your application for peak usage. Testers can also leverage AI-driven self-healing featuring SmartBear HaloAI to ensure that load tests remain relevant and effective, even as the application evolves. With this integration, testers can now automate a full-scale UI test suite composed of essential testing types, including functional testing, visual testing, device cloud testing, and load testing, giving teams exceptional testing coverage within a single tool.

"We can execute tests from our end users' point of view, unlike other tools that can’t accurately understand the differences from yesterday’s build to today’s. Self-healing with TestComplete also makes load testing easier by enabling us to check, verify, and guarantee that my load tests recorded in the past still correspond to today’s reality," said Alexei Karas, software test automation professional.

SmartBear has also launched test data generation featuring HaloAI. This new offering provides additional test data generation capabilities, delivering a more advanced and customizable solution. With the power of HaloAI, users can put their growing LLM skills to work, inputting simple-text commands to generate tailored datasets that better suit their specific testing needs. This approach not only streamlines the creation process but also ensures the security of customer data by generating it directly within TestComplete, eliminating the risk of using external LLM tools. Testers can quickly and easily create realistic and diverse datasets, enhancing the quality and effectiveness of their data-driven tests.

SmartBear is revolutionizing developer and tester workflows by integrating popular tools and features into intuitive solution hubs: SmartBear API Hub, SmartBear Test Hub, and SmartBear Insight Hub. TestComplete and LoadNinja are transforming into Test Hub, allowing teams to manage, automate, and execute all tests in one place. This streamlined approach simplifies the testing process, ensuring higher quality applications and faster time-to-market.

"We are in the midst of an AI-fueled crisis in software development, and the relentless pressure to deliver, coupled with the rapid adoption of AI and GenAI tools, has led to a decline in software quality. To address these critical challenges, we must revolutionize the industry, ensure rigorous standards are maintained, and usher in AI to foster progress, not regress. As we navigate these crossroads, we must uphold the irreplaceable roles humans play in ensuring technological advancements enhance, rather than compromise software quality and reliability," said Frank Roe.

"While navigating the complex challenges of generative AI and economic uncertainties, maintaining high software quality is more crucial than ever. SmartBear Connect offers a unique forum for industry professionals to learn to optimize end-to-end software testing and quality processes, harness the power of AI, and streamline API workflows. Attendees around the world have been learning the latest, most effective best practices that are helping them thrive in this challenging landscape, and we are excited to welcome many more to Boston," said Melissa Campbell, CRO at SmartBear.
