Hi Tanya - I am super excited about this program. I am hoping to see topics of API Monitoring. 

[nmrao]

A Christmas feast for the community.

[msiadak]

I am really eager to see the discussions this brings about and to see how other people answer. I love learning how other people approach using Ready API. It is a great learning experience and I have definitely been able to fine-tune my own processes.

[SuperSingh]

This is a great initiative.

Smartbear Community has been very helpful in solving the issues for many professionals.This new event will open up new horizons and will enlighten on the areas that are not so familiar to all.

Kudos !

Good one.. Should be there each month one

and Good that you make it related to a festival. So it attached to happiness.

Reminds of the carol of 12 days of christmas.. 

You should create a song like

on the first day of christmas, smartbear give to me "ReadyAPI Data Driven Tests - Treasure for API Testing"

on the second day of ....

[TanyaYatskovska]

Great idea, Gaurav. I have to warn you that usually people ask me to stop singing when I start 🙂

Your suggestion reminded me a song we prepared several years ago. @GHanson is an expert in singing!

[sanj]

Absolutely exciting times to learn and share knowledge with fellow geeks!

[tristaanogre]

Someone mentioned singing... make TestComplete "sing"

[TanyaYatskovska]

Ahahahha. Will there be a new song this year, Robert? 🙂 

We only have the Jingle Bells and Little Tree (V lesu rodilas elochka  - Russian song) songs so far....

[tristaanogre]

Actually, @TanyaYatskovska, Silent Night is included in the package. 🙂  Or... Stille Nacht if you prefer the German...  Or... Тихая ночь if you prefer the Russian. 😉

[TanyaYatskovska]

Ohhh, correct! It's time to re-listen them 🙂

P.S. Great to hear that you practice Russian 😉

[FlossyThePig]

I realise that Christmas is now a time for fun, games and commercialism, but as I describe myself as a professional pedant here is a little question to ponder.

Why do people mistake Advent for the Twelve Days of Christmas (starting on Christmas Day and ending on the Epiphany)?

[TanyaYatskovska]

Hi Everyone!

We have some changes in the schedule plan. On December 18, I want to introduce the new article - Why Testing Matters - we will be talking about the importance of testing. You are welcome to share the funniest or the most critical issues you've found thanks to your tests. The originally planned TestComplete Web Testing article will be part of the TestComplete Mobile Testing and it will be published on Dec 15. So, the changed schedule:

Date	Article
December 15	Day 10 - TestComplete Mobile/Web Testing
December 18	Day 11 - Why Testing Matters
