Artificial Intelligence Poised to Drive API Growth, according to Nearly 40% of Respondents in Recent SmartBear Survey.
SmartBear releases results of the 2023 State of Software Quality | API survey showing APIs supporting event-driven API architectures have increased.
SOMERVILLE, Mass, May 03, 2023 – SmartBear, a leading provider of software development and visibility tools, released the results of its 2023 State of Software Quality | API survey, which garnered responses from over 1,100 API practitioners in more than 17 industries. Although microservices continue to be the main driver of API growth, 38% of respondents say artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as an increasingly influential driver in the future growth of APIs. First published in 2016, SmartBear has regularly surveyed the API community to identify industry benchmarks, including trends, best practices, methodologies, and tools used by developer teams to manage the API lifecycle.
“As the API industry continues to rapidly evolve, we are excited to share the most up-to-date API development and management trends, and the factors contributing to its growth now and in the years ahead,” said Sean Butler, Vice President of API Product Management at SmartBear . “There are several interesting findings this year, including APIs supporting event-driven API architectures has increased, we are seeing a positive trend in API documentation, and API standardization and security continue to be the top challenges for development teams worldwide.”
Other findings showed that as teams try to do more with less, APIs are seen as a means to improve automation across the delivery process. Practitioners also expect API tooling to integrate better with existing tooling as APIs cover most organizational capabilities.
SmartBear provides a portfolio of trusted tools that give software development teams around the world visibility into end-to-end quality through test management and automation, API development lifecycle, and application stability, ensuring each software release is better than the last.
