Ajay Hinduja (Switzerland) How do I automate an API test suite and run it from the command line?
Hi Everyone, I'm Ajay Hinduja. My journey began in Punjab, India, and has led me to my current home in Geneva, Switzerland (Swiss). I'm looking into automating our API test suite and running it from the command line to streamline our workflow. I'm exploring options like using Postman with Newman, but I'm open to other suggestions, especially if a code-based framework like Rest-Assured or Cypress would be a better fit for our project. Let me know what you think and what tools you've had success with. Regards Ajay Hinduja Geneva, Switzerland (Swiss)[Announcement] Q2 2025 Champion Rewards Issued 🎉
Hello Champions! 🌟 Rewards for Q2 2025 have just been issued to all Champions who qualified. Your knowledge and positive energy keep the SmartBear Community vibrant and helpful. Thank you for everything you do. The community thrives because of you. Keep sharing, helping, and inspiring! 🙌 Thanks again! Doug and the SmartBear Community TeamResolve Old Threads
Champions can resolve old threads. Someone posted on a 12 year old threads today. Since it is slow today here I am resolving some old open threads. There must be 100's. If we pitch in together maybe we can clean it up. 🙂 SmartBear Community Rules | SmartBear Community Thread Resolution Guidelines To help keep our forums organized and valuable for future visitors, Community Champions and SmartBear staff may mark a response as the accepted solution if a thread shows no activity after 7 days and an answer appears to resolve the issue. If you return to your thread and feel that the marked response does not fully solve your problem, you are always welcome to unmark it as the solution and continue the conversation.Community Champion Rewards & Program Updates
Hello all! I hope you’re doing well and that your 2025 is off to a great start. I wanted to share some exciting updates we’ve made to the Community, aimed at boosting engagement and giving our Community Champions more ways to contribute and lead. Here are the two key changes: Q1/25 Community Champion Rewards and Promotions have been completed We've updated Champion levels based on Q1/25 activity and contributions, and rewards have been issued. Thanks again for all of your fantastic participation last quarter! Community Champions of all levels can now author technical articles. Previously, only Level 3 Champions had this ability. Now, Champions at Levels 1 through 3 can submit articles for review. Level 3 Champions will continue to have the option to publish directly without needing review. This opens the door for more diverse content and voices across our product spaces. Champions can now mark replies as solutions. To help keep the Community well-organized and up to date, Champions and SmartBear staff can now mark a reply as a solution when a thread has been inactive. This ensures helpful answers are more visible for others searching in the future. There are a few rules in place to guide this: Threads must be inactive for at least 7 days before a Champion or staff member marks a solution. The reply marked as a solution should clearly address the original question or problem. If the original poster or other members disagree, they are free to unmark the solution and continue the conversation. These changes are designed to make the Community more dynamic, helpful, and rewarding for everyone. As always, we welcome your feedback and look forward to seeing even more great contributions from all of you. We also have a bunch of new features and updates for the community in the coming weeks and months, so keep an eye out! Thank you for all of your contributions! You all are an important part of the SmartBear Community! - SmartBear Community TeamCommunity Champions Program Rules
What is the Community Champions program? Community Champions is a quarterly rewards program aimed at rewarding users for consistently posting solutions and resources to assist fellow community members. Users participating in consecutive quarters are eligible for greater rewards and elevated community permissions as described herein. How to participate Register for a SmartBear Community account and verify your email. Join the “Community Champions” group. Earn points by posting solutions, earning kudos, or posting technical articles. Get rewarded! Please note: Only one account per person. (Email addresses and accounts will be vetted.) All users must follow the SmartBear Community Terms of Service. Any kudos, "accepted solutions", or technical articles that violate the rules will warrant an immediate ban from the community and the program. Program and Rules requirements can change at any time. Earning points, rewards, leveling up, and leveling down Each quarter (Jan 1-March 31, April 1-June 30, July 1-Sept 30, Oct 1-Dec 31), you can qualify for SmartBear Community Champion status! If you have earned 50 points during one quarter, congratulations! You are a SmartBear Community Champion! Points will only be counted in the quarter that they are earned and do not carry over from quarter to quarter. The maximum level users can achieve is Level 3. Your status will carry over from year to year if you actively participate in the program each quarter. Leveling up For each sequential quarter you participate in the SmartBear Community Champions program, you move to the next level! (For example, after earning 50 points in your first quarter of participation, you will earn Level 1 rewards. If the next quarter you also earn 50 points, you will earn level 2 rewards, and so on.) Leveling down If you are inactive and/or do not qualify for the next sequential quarter, your rewards will pause, and you will not earn the next level of rewards. Users inactive for two consecutive quarters will lose a level for each sequential quarter of non-participation. (For example, if you are at Level 2 but do not qualify for the next two sequential quarters, you will drop to Level 1 and receive no rewards. If you qualify for the next sequential quarter, you will earn Level 2 status again and rewards. Delicious, delicious rewards.) Please Note: 2023 SmartBear Community Leaders automatically qualify for 2023 SmartBear Community Champion status, and will start the program at Level 2 Earning points You can earn points by participating in discussions, giving valuable feedback, and sharing your knowledge across the SmartBear Community. You will earn: One point for every “kudos” you receive. 10 points for every “accepted solution” you receive. (Note: this excludes posted solutions to your own topics) 25 points for every “Technical Article” you post. (Note: to post a technical article requires Level 3 status and will need to be approved by a SmartBear Community team member.) Please note: All participation, including kudos, solutions, and technical articles, will be reviewed by a SmartBear Community team member.
