Each challenge has a difficulty level, so the amount of points awarded for completing challenges can be different (1 - 3 points = easy - advanced). You can complete one advanced challenge and earn 3 points or 3 easy challenges - it's up to you! Participate in challenges and be at the top of the Leaderboard!

How To Participate

A weekly challenge contains a product-related task that you need to solve. Depending on the task's difficulty level, we provide a detailed description of how you can resolve the task. Read the instructions carefully, implement the task and post your solution.

 

Actions you need to take to participate:

  1. Have a solution? Click Reply under the task in question. There are no time frames - you can post a solution whenever you find it. However, the faster you post, the better your chances of showing up on the TechCorner Challenge Leaderboard are!
  2. Write your answer and click Post for it to be added as a comment.
  3. Wait for your reply to be checked and verified as a Solution for this task.
  4. Give yourself a pat on the shoulder - you did great! And, you can find your name on the TechCorner Challenge Leaderboard!

 

Note: Even if a task already has a solution, but you know another approach to solve it - post your reply, too. One task can have more than one solution.

 

You can find a link to the weekly challenge either on the side banner of the ReadyAPI Community or among pinned posts on the ReadyAPI Platform and Tools > SoapUI Pro board:

    I actually had to use part of one of the solutions I came up with at work, so that made me happy I had pre-learned something I needed. This has been a lot of fun to participate in, thank you sonya_m for providing these challenges.

      groovyguy Thank you for this great feedback!

      It is pretty cool that you were faced with a task at work that you managed to solve with stuff you learned completing challenges. This is one of the main ideas behind the whole TechCorner Challenge, that people learn new things in the process 🙂

      Your participation has been awesome, let's see if we can come up with more tasks you will find interesting. Which I'm sure we can
