Getting Started with the SmartBear Community

[TanyaGorbunova]

Welcome to the SmartBear Community,

This Community unites the communities for all SmartBear products. Although the Community was designed with the SmartBear users in mind, we welcome everyone interested in QA, DevOps, or API to join us.

We want your journey in the Community to be as effective as possible. For this, we have prepared this guide to help you get started with the SmartBear Community.

Watch a short getting started video:

Quick Start

In the Community, you can find various rich resources where you can: 

Ask Questions

 Start a discussion, search for solutions, ask your questions. We have Community Leaders and Heroes all around the world who will be happy to assist you. 

To ask a question, navigate to the needed forum in a product community, for example to TestComplete General Discussions, the SoapUI Pro forum, or others.

Submit Product Improvements

Create a product feature request or vote for the existing ideas. Help us improve! If you feel that the SmartBear products lack some features - let us know.

To submit an idea, navigate to the feature request forum in a product community.

Help the Community

Help your peers discover new and better ways to use a product. Share your knowledge by answering questions. You can review all unanswered questions on a product community page. Here are the ones for TestComplete and ReadyAPI.
