I use Postman as a testing tool. I used Postman for one of the education-based applications named Compass. I can use Postman effectively.

We used the solution in multiple ways, including: 1. We create Rest APIs for the communication of the front end to the backend. For the testing of those Rest APIs, we use Postman. It provides a user-friendly platform for API testing with all the request methods like GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH, and many more. We can create our own collections like group requests. We can easily share the collection with the team. 2. We are using Postman to create the documentation of the REST APIs, which the backend team creates, so the frontend engineer can easily see the request type, headers, methods, and response body for the request. 3. It is also used as an API testing tool by the automation testing team. We can write our own tests with the assert statements in Postman after the response.

I am working for an insurance firm, a big client in the USA. They wanted to upgrade the current technology with something new. However, they have legacy applications, and they don't want to handle APIs. They didn't want anything to hit their existing API since they have two layers of APIs. At the same time, there are different components with around 17 to 18 integrations and various applications. We wanted one tool that could help us handle the restrictions and the implementation. This is both an API and a very helpful testing tool. It's user-friendly for everyone using it in a big firm.

Postman is a good tool for completing a sanity check or smoke test of REST APIs. It's a quick way to manage your REST API-related test cases, and it gives good options for assertions for the response of the APIs. We have 30 people using this solution in our business.

There is a regular set of use cases, such as basic logins and long-form fills and submissions. There is a regular data set that we pick from the APIs, mostly with the GET, POST, and PUT calls. These are the three API methods we use regularly. We are using the local version of Postman that we download for manual testing of the API. We do the automation directly in REST Assured with Java.

We primarily use the solution for testing and preparation of the base URL which I generated for the first tokenization. I prepare the test suite and the XML or Java core that give the input parameters. The major role is the pre-requisition of the scripts in Postman - which is mandatory. We can input parameters into Excel and execute for the application. We work in many environments, including QA, SAP, production, pre-production, and proof. We use Postman for each and every release. Before anything goes to the master branch in GitHub, I'll completely check the code and unit test the complete scripting. I'll execute it one or two times, and once it's stabilized, I'll directly deploy it to the master branch.

Our company uses the solution for single user regression testing of APIs. For each of our releases, we run a regression report that includes APIs contained in that release. We create structure suites by importing API information from swagger links, writing test scripts for APIs, and validating the values in our responses. This process can take some time but completed ignition suites can be reused.

Postman is an API regression suite, and we design different workflow center processes. We maintain the Postman tool and add JavaScript applications. Since it is not that robust, like ReadyAPI, we have to write many scripts to support it.

We usually do our API testing and the endpoint testing on Postman. That's our primary purpose for using Postman. Sometimes, we also use it for load testing, but most of the time, we use a different tool for that. I don't know the exact version that we are using currently, but most of the time, it is the recent one because our enterprise keeps on updating the software. In terms of deployment, it is a client tool.

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.

We mostly use a REST API for testing related to third-party applications, integrating services with third parties responsible for food delivery. Use cases include onboarding for when a new store opens, uploading the menu on the third-party app. and an API for customers to order from a menu. We also use Postman for payments, whether debit or credit card. It covers all the validation points, including whether a card is fake, stolen, invalid or blocked. We are customers of Postman and I'm a senior consultant.

Our primary use case for Postman is API testing for our product. We haven't automated the request and response part yet, like how we used to do for automation scripts. Basically, we are just shooting the URL's and recording the response. As of now we have multiple API's and we are using the collection so that we can run it together in a single flow, like an automation execution. Then we use the basic variables and the collection variables. We even saw that we have some additional validation through the response code and the status code, like if there is an expired date then we should be expecting 200 status codes. We are doing those kinds of things now. We have been using Postman for the API testing for two to three month.

Almost all the teams here depend on the APIs, which are built-in SOAP or JSON. We have multiple teams testing JSON and they use Postman. There are multiple applications teams that integrate their interfaces with APIs, and they use the Postman.

We are using it to test the API service for the GET and the POST. For this type of test, it is working properly for the APIs. It tests for the minimum usage of Postman. Also, if developers insist in collections, then we can share these collections as well.

Postman's Tools Support Every Stage of the API Lifecycle. Through design, testing and full production, Postman is there for faster, easier API development - without the chaos.
