SmartBear Software is a privately-held technology company that delivers tools for application performance monitoring (APM), software development, software testing and API management. The company is headquartered in the Greater Boston Area in Assembly Square and was founded in 2009.
Today's SmartBear Software is the result of Insight Venture Partners acquiring three companies between 2007 and early 2009. These companies include AutomatedQA, SmartBear Software, and Pragmatic Software. This collection of companies operated as AQA Holdings until it was later rebranded as SmartBear Software in 2010.
After the rebranding to SmartBear Software in 2010, the company went on to acquire Eviware in 2011 leading to SoapUI's founder and API evangelist Ole Lensmar joining the company and later serving as chief technology officer (CTO) of SmartBear. That same year, the company acquired APM vendor AlertSite.
In 2013, SmartBear acquired Spanish APM vendor Lucierna. SmartBear then acquired the Open Source Community Swagger in 2015 and its founder, Tony Tam, joined the company as head of products for Swagger and the commercial version of Swagger, SwaggerHub. In 2016, SmartBear acquired CrossBrowserTesting.com (CBT) and Ken Hamric, founder of CBT, joined the company as general manager of CrossBrowserTesting.com.
SmartBear is headquartered in Boston and has multiple locations across the U.S. in Texas, Tennessee, and Florida. SmartBear also has offices and development centers in Ireland, Sweden, and Russia. SmartBear's current CEO is Doug McNary, and the company's President and COO is Justin Teague.
SmartBear Software offers 16 commercial products in the following categories: API readiness, software testing, monitoring, code collaboration, and code optimization, and two open-source tools: SoapUI & Swagger.
