Test Engineer at Innoppl
Simple setup and scalable
Pros and Cons
- "One of the most valuable aspects of Postman is scalability. We can scale the collection and for the multiple repositories of the collections."
- "We do the implementation of Postman and give support. We had to use two engineers for the implementation, one senior and one junior for the process."
What is our primary use case?
The main reason we are using Postman is for checking and validating the API whether it works fine or not. When they send a request, we will receive the response with a successful code or we will be monitoring the code number for the latest number record.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Postman for six to eight months.

Test Lead at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
It lets you share test cases with your teammates
Pros and Cons
- "Postman allows you to incorporate and export the test cases we create. It enables me to share the test cases with my colleagues, so I don't have to copy them into an Excel sheet. Postman lets me export the dataset and share it with my team. They can use my test case for their testing."
- "Postman has helped with storing data, sharing test cases, and reporting, making it much easier to share test cases with teammates and automatically handle raw data and new structures or formats, which makes my life much easier."
- "Testing API is pretty straightforward in Postman, but it falls short when testing web services. For example, when we test web services, there is a visual component that we can import in SoapUI but not in Postman."
What is our primary use case?
When critical things happen, and we need immediate testing, we use Postman or SoapUI. For example, when testing ServiceNow applications, we use Postman to call the APIs. The data sequence of the APIs has to be called, so we create test cases in Postman that call the appropriate data, authentication keys, and everything else we include in the data. And when we post about it, we include all that data. We fill in all of the required fields and send the request. When we get the response, it will include some data. We capture that and send it along on the subsequent request. So we usually use Postman to keep our directors informed during our integration and product testing. It's a pretty mature solution. Postman is about seven to eight years old.
How has it helped my organization?
Postman has helped up with storing data, sharing test cases, and reporting. It's much easier to share test cases with teammates. I don't have to deliver an Excel sheet with all the test cases in there. It covers my list of requirements. For instance, it gives me the raw data, and if I need a new structure or format, it does everything automatically. Back in 2012, it was a browser-based application that you open in Chrome, but now it's a desktop application. It makes my life much easier. The browser-based app was frustrating because Chrome uses a lot of memory, and the browser often crashed.
What is most valuable?
Postman allows you to incorporate and export the test cases we create. It enables me to share the test cases with my colleagues, so I don't have to copy them into an Excel sheet. Postman lets me export the dataset and share it with my team. They can use my test case for their testing.
It lists all the tests I have done, so I don't have to report them separately. With SoapUI, I can't do that. So every time I run a test case in SoapUI, I have to note in an Excel sheet the data, response times, etc. Postman sets the data free. It records the calls, responses, and everything else I need. So I can create a report and then go back and see what testing happened in the past month.
What needs improvement?
Testing API is pretty straightforward in Postman, but it falls short when testing web services. For example, when we test web services, there is a visual component that we can import in SoapUI but not in Postman. It's pretty challenging to work with visuals in Postman, but it's much easier in SoapUI. We used Postman to test web services three years ago, but we found it wasn't suitable, so we started using SoapUI. If Postman's web services testing were smarter, it would be the number one tool we use.
It would be great if Postman could add some more integration with the other testing tools we use. For example, it would be nice if we could create a test case scenario in Postman and execute it using Jenkins during the CFPB pipeline. That would be an outstanding feature that we could use. Writing a lot of code for test cases in Selenium is much more complicated than creating a small test in Postman. So that'll make our life much easier.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been working with Postman for the past six years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Postman is pretty stable. When I was using the browser-based version, it took a while to load. Now it takes a little time but not very much. It's about as fast as any other application. But when I was using the web app in my Chrome browser, the browser would crash, and sometimes my system would freeze. So we had that issue earlier, but the performance has improved a lot.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Postman is scalable. I can have multiple instances of Postman running tests simultaneously. If necessary, I can open two Postman instances and compare them with another test.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We also used LoadRunner to do some testing but that is for entirely different purposes. It's a load-testing tool for performance, whereas Postman is used more for functional testing. We mainly use Postman mainly to when a thing has occurred in your form. So when we're doing integration testing and all that, we use Postman. It is almost like a manual test where the processes are entirely different. For other purposes, we use tools like LoadRunner, Jenkins, and JMeter. We also use Selenium for automation testing and to execute our CFPB pipeline division.
How was the initial setup?
Setting up Postman is pretty simple. You just download it and run the installer. It only takes one person to install and you can do it in around 10 minutes.
What other advice do I have?
I rate Postman eight out of 10. I recommend investing in Postman, which has a lot of features. You can use it to save scenarios then export, store, and reuse them. Postman already has a lot of features that I like.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises
