Ryan hosts SmartBear’s VP of AI and Architecture Fitz Nowlan to explore how we’re moving away from old assumptions about software development, the challenges of testing MCP servers as LLM-driven agents introduce non-determinism that breaks tradition, and how data locality and data construction are becoming more valuable when source code is so easy to generate.

Episode notes:

SmartBear gives devs tools for application performance monitoring, software development, software testing, and API management—all at AI speed and scale.
