In his keynote, Frank discusses how the software industry is at a breaking point, driven by the immense pressure to continue to deliver software faster with fewer resources and the rapid adoption of AI and generative AI tools. Recent headlines of high-profile software failures and security breaches only underscore the critical importance of recognizing the need for change. While AI offers significant efficiency gains, it cannot replace the unique problem-solving skills and critical insights of human software professionals.

"We are in the midst of an AI-fueled crisis (https://builtin.com/artificial-intelligence/ai-fueled-sof...) in software development, and the relentless pressure to deliver, coupled with the rapid adoption of AI and GenAI tools, has led to a decline in software quality," said Frank Roe. "To address these critical challenges, we must revolutionize the industry, ensure rigorous standards are maintained, and usher in AI to foster progress, not regress. As we navigate these crossroads, we must uphold the irreplaceable roles humans play in ensuring technological advancements enhance, rather than compromise software quality and reliability."

Frank joined SmartBear in 2018 as Chief Revenue Officer, following a successful career in senior leadership positions at Oracle, Progress Software, and other leading software organizations. He was promoted to CEO and board member in 2020 and has led SmartBear through rapid growth and expansion. With over 25 years of experience, Frank seeks a comprehensive understanding of business complexities, providing collaborative leadership, while creating sustained long-term company value. He is also a member of the board of directors at LastPass and a strategic board advisor at Appsurify.
