SmartBear HaloAI Named AI Software Development Solution of the Year for Second Straight Year

SmartBear Secures AI Software Development Solution of the Year for Second Year Running

SmartBear HaloAI has once again been honored with the AI Software Development Solution of the Year award at the 8th annual AI Breakthrough Awards. This marks the second consecutive year that SmartBear’s AI-powered technology has earned this recognition, highlighting its ongoing innovation in software development and testing.

The AI Breakthrough Awards celebrate companies and technologies that deliver practical AI advancements. This year’s competition was intense, with thousands of submissions vying for top honors.

Why SmartBear HaloAI Stands Out

SmartBear’s approach integrates AI directly into developer workflows, enhancing quality, speed, and team collaboration throughout the software lifecycle. Steve Johansson, Managing Director at AI Breakthrough, noted that HaloAI offers a fresh perspective on improving software team productivity.

Launched last year, HaloAI embeds AI capabilities into existing SmartBear solutions. Key offerings include:

• Zephyr with no-code AI test automation
• SmartBear API Hub powered by HaloAI
• TestComplete AI Test Data Generation

SmartBear also recently introduced Reflect Mobile, which extends AI-driven test automation to native iOS and Android apps, supporting no-code testing beyond web applications.

Collaborative Innovation with HaloAI Labs

SmartBear engages customers directly through its invitation-only HaloAI Labs program. Early access to experimental AI features allows teams to provide feedback that informs product development and ensures solutions align with real-world needs.

Fitz Nowlan, VP of AI and Architecture at SmartBear, emphasized the company’s commitment to delivering trustworthy AI that boosts productivity without compromising quality.
