December 2020 | SmartBear Community News Journal

[TanyaYatskovska]

Hello Community,

In a month, we will jump into a wonderful 2021. It's high time we finished all we had planned to do this year and started planning for the next year! The SmartBear Community is always happy to assist with any QA questions you have. So, our plan for this December is to have even more great conversations with you - next week we are starting our annual online event that will unite all software testing communities and provide great topics for discussion. You can find the details below.

Let's start our news!

TOP Community Contributors

This January, we will be happy to announce new quarterly Community Leaders and annual Community Heroes. Today, all of you have great chances to be featured next month. How to earn the Leader status? Just answer the questions of other community members or post your own topics with use cases, testing workflows, scripts you created, etc. Earn kudos and ... bingo! ... you are a Community Leader!

Right now, let me feature the following community members for their enormous contribution last month:
