Why Portman Helps with API Testing
Let's face facts: When you publish APIs, you need to test them - and that means really test them. APIs with zero-or-limited testing are likely to be unreliable, prone to failure, riddled with inaccuracies (as your OpenAPI document and the data the API returns don’t match).
17
What is an SDK?
Software Development Kits (SDKs) are very common throughout the development landscape. Most API providers offer SDKs to help support specific programming languages and app development paradigms, making them an integral part of an overall developer support strategy. Below, we'll define what SDKs are, explore sample SDKs, and see how SDKs differ from APIs.

10 ways to build a developer community
Strong developer communities are fundamental to a thriving software ecosystem. By uniting programmers around a common subject, communities enable users to share ideas, progress software projects, support each other and have fun. Vibrant engagement sparks creativity and collaboration that would otherwise be impossible to replicate without a strong community foothold. While developer communities typically form quite naturally, there are ways to encourage one to arise around your project or API.
