Thanks for sharing three tools to support API testing. I like how you framed their main purposes and how they might be used. A good introduction to help STEC learners think about using tools in different ways and combining them. 

Thanks for your 404 talk in STEC Module 16: Tools to help you with test automation. Nice to remind the learner that there is no best tool for all kinds of testing and that sometimes it's better to combine different tools for comprehensive testing.

Thank you for helping future STEC learners with your video that shares three tools that support exploratory testing. 

Thanks for introducing three tools you use for functional testing in a STEC video for Module 16. I like the way you expand from dev tools to logs to Postman. 

Thanks for taking the time to speak today!I really appreciate the support and I love the coining of Community Conduit.

Lovely to chat with you on a call. Thanks for your time and for sparking lots of ideas and reflections. It was a privilege to chat with a community conduit like yourself. 

Great to watch your STEC video about tools to help with security testing. Good to see you modify field types and validation via the console to see if it's possible to exploit business logic. And I like that you share the pros and cons of the tools and approaches you describe. Glad folks have access to your cheat sheet!
