SmartBear's BearQ adds Sources to find coverage gaps, Workflows to automate test runs
SmartBear has added two capabilities, Sources and Workflows, to its BearQ agentic quality assurance system: Sources pulls requirements and bug reports from Jira and, combined with existing tests in Reflect and Zephyr, identifies coverage gaps to reduce duplicate testing; Workflows supports chaining tasks under a single trigger, for example automatically creating a test environment and running regression tests once a build enters CI/CD. SmartBear said that in a September 30 survey of 1,436 respondents in the US and UK, 23% cited trust as the top barrier to adopting autonomous testing.
