Streamlining Access to Mission-Critical Software Quality Tools

Public sector teams developing and maintaining mission-critical applications require robust testing, monitoring, and API development capabilities—but complex procurement processes often delay deployment. This expanded partnership addresses that friction by establishing Carahsoft as SmartBear's Master Government Aggregator, enabling agencies to discover, purchase, and deploy solutions through established, compliant contract vehicles and trusted reseller channels.

Delivering AI-Powered Quality Across the Software Lifecycle

SmartBear's portfolio spans the entire software development lifecycle. ReadyAPI and TestComplete support automated functional and performance testing; Swagger drives API design and documentation; Reflect enables visual testing; and BugSnag provides real-time application monitoring. Zephyr, the leading test management solution for Jira, continues to be available through Carahsoft in the Atlassian Marketplace. All solutions incorporate SmartBear AI to accelerate quality assurance while maintaining security and compliance.

Supporting Secure, Modern Government Software Development

As federal and state agencies accelerate digital transformation, the demand for modern, secure software delivery practices intensifies. This partnership ensures government teams can access enterprise-grade tools that integrate with their existing DevSecOps workflows while meeting stringent procurement and security requirements. By simplifying access to AI-powered quality solutions, SmartBear and Carahsoft enable public sector organizations to deliver reliable, compliant applications faster and with greater confidence.

"Public Sector teams rely on SmartBear's secure, on-premise solutions such as ReadyAPI and TestComplete to ensure mission-critical applications perform flawlessly," said Joe Tong of SmartBear. This expanded agreement provides a direct, efficient path to the tools government developers need to innovate securely.
