Video Interview
Last month we announced Community Leaders and Heroes, and it’s time to learn more about them.
Please meet PrathapR !
Thanks to his enormous activity last quarter, Prathap was rewarded with the prestigious status of Community Leader! We conducted a short video interview with him that covered where he’s from, how he uses ReadyAPI to resolve tricky API testing challenges, why he moved from SoapUI to ReadyAPI – even how much he accomplished in a day when joined the SmartBear Community!

Wintertainment Video Feedback
Last December, many of you joined in on our annual community event – Wintertainment. The theme was "New Year Testing Resolutions". Hopefully, you’ve tried using some of the new approaches we covered. Share with us any solutions you’ve already implemented!
In the meantime, we received your event feedback and prepared a short video, featuring you! It sounds like you enjoyed participating in the event and learned a lot, which pleases us to no end. Thanks for all your warm words.
