Automated testing optimizes API workflow and collaboration
Since I am using the free tier, one improvement would be to increase the number of requests you can send in a short time period. Currently, if I send 200-300 requests in a short period, Postman Enterprise requires a 30-second wait before sending another bundle of requests unless you upgrade to a higher tier. Secondly, Postman Enterprise sometimes takes several minutes to load the whole workspace. With 2,000-3,000 requests in a workspace, it can take a minute or two to load all requests. When creating a new workspace and moving requests between workspaces, depending on internet speed, it can take a longer period to copy those requests or workspace from one place to another.

I've noticed, once or twice, when there were some updates pushed by Runscope, at times it didn't refresh the pages. I was running it, there were multiple tests running at the same time, and it didn't update the webpage I was looking at. So I had to refresh it manually. Occasionally, it still happens. Another thing I have found is that the built-in editor for the scripts can be improved a lot. Instead of making such a basic editor, maybe include a little more so it is easier to look at things and debug. Finally, other than the Runscope documentation, I haven't seen too much elsewhere. I haven't seen a user community.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Postman offers great features, so I get a better opportunity to run bulk tasks through single command lines and single APIs, and we have an internal Postman AI tool, which helps improvise the code and analyze the quality if you find any errors."
"The tool is simple and easy."
"It is easy to install, as well as to learn, particularly for new users, even if they are not developers."
"The user-interface is very good."
"Postman is very user-friendly and accessible even for those with minimal experience."
"Postman uses the DRY framework of JavaScript and that framework is easy and a good way to put assertions on responses."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The most valuable feature is the user interface because it provides a clear space for the URL, headers, body, prerequisites, and tests."
"It has a relatively simple user experience."
"We utilize modular tests based on environment variables. These have saved QA a lot of time when setting up our back-end automation."
"It is a cloud-based environment for building and executing tests, which allows me to focus on building, running, and reviewing test results."
"It is a relatively reliable tool for running big amounts of API tests, which you can schedule to run periodically, as the product is very good."
"The schedule is definitely the most valuable. Also, being able to check the JSON attribute values is helpful. We always check the attributes. Finally, the notifications are helpful as well."
"Tests are per-step configurable with script capabilities and support for token-based authentication using variables. Configurable test frequency and integration with both Slack and PagerDuty for alerting our DevOps team are also important. General use of the dashboard by multiple team members is also valuable."
"Valuable features include: Being able to add tests as sub-tests in a parent test for regression testing; notifications for tests that pass/fail; being able to customize expected results with assertions; being able to set tests to run daily."
"We can receive an email and slack notifications if tests are failing/passing."
 

Cons

"One area that could be better is collection management."
"We'd like to see videos or user-friendly reference documentation to help us figure out the solution or troubleshoot issues on our own."
"I rate the support for Postman a four out of five."
"The solution can be improved by providing detailed error logs including the line the error took place to make it easier to correct."
"There are some limitations regarding large result sets in Postman. When dealing with several hundred records, accessing all the information can be challenging."
"Should have a more improved easy-to-use interface."
"It would be beneficial to expand functionality with additional testing options."
"Multi-part requests should be handled in the octet-stream."
"It would be nice to be able to generate API documentation."
"We definitely make use of historical test results, especially when tracking more difficult issues such as timeouts. Per our test frequency (15 minutes) we often need to go back further than the last 100 test runs. We are aware that results further back in time are available through the Runscope API, however, it would be great if the dashboard allowed easy access to a larger amount of historical data."
"One thing that can be improved is the logging. Sometimes, when we have an error, we don't know how to find more information about the problem that has happened. Sometimes, it just returns something like "that gateway." More information would be a way to improve it."
"I would like to see easier integration and display of test results so that the data could be shared via a dashboard within our company. (Some integration is possible, provided you use one of the supported platforms)."
"Navigation can be a little tricky when changing run environments and switching between test run results and editing the tests. It would be nice if you could switch the environment for all tests in a Bucket to run, rather than having to change each test environment."
"If you forget to set the default environment during test creation, you have to go through every test and make sure that it is set to the environment that you prefer if using shared environments. If there was an option to force all tests within a bucket into a specific environment with one click, this would save a lot of time."
"We would like the ability to configure Runscope behavior when a given test has its schedule modified. That is, in a non-production environment, we often need to pause a test (either by removing it from the schedule or adjusting its frequency) and this results in the automatic kick-off of this test in all other environments. We would like the ability to simply pause a test for a specific shared environment without causing additional tests to be started."
"Needs the ability to create code which runs before and after API tests."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution offers a free version."
"We do not pay any money for Postman."
"The solution has moderate pricing."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"We are using its free version."
"We are currently using the free version, but we have plans to buy a license."
"I rate the product's price a nine or ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is very expensive. Postman is an expensive tool for Turkey."
"This tool is open-source and free to download and use."
"Pricing is fair."
"Runscope pricing is unbeatable"
"Having the different plans organized by team size, buckets, and requests per billing period works for our needs. Larger companies may need to take a close look at these elements."
"The price for the product is very reasonable for a team of more than four to five members."
