Panelists are from a wide range of developer communities.
“IoT represents a huge opportunity for device builders and developers to create a completely new way for people and businesses to interact with each other, however, we are faced with the two major challenges of security and standardization,” said Doug McNary, CEO of SmartBear. “SmartBear is at the leading edge of the IoT discussions throughout the industry and our software quality tools are ensuring the highest quality and performance in IoT solutions.”
