Postman On Steroids
- 1. POSTMAN ON STEROIDSSARA TORNINCASA @ CODERMINE GITHUB.COM/SARASEWARD/POSTMAN-ON-STEROIDS
- 2. HTTP REQUESTS WITH A FRIENDLY UI the dinosaur's footprints
- 6. ENVIRONMENTS
- 7. SESSION VALUES: HANDLE SENSITIVE VALUES
- 8. VARIABLES
- 9. VARIABLES Dynamic variables in the request URL / headers / body: {{$guid}} | {{$timestamp}} | {{$randomInt}} Read more
- 13. COLLECTIONS Collections are groups of requests that can be run together as a series of requests, against a corresponding environment. > Automate API testing > Make better use of scripts: pass data between requests... > ...or build workflows that mirror your APIs' use case.
- 14. WORKSPACES
- 15. WORKSPACES A workspace is a view of all the Postman things you've come to use: collections, environments, ... > Individuals can organize their work in personal workspaces > Teams can collaborate in team workspaces. > You can share elements in multiple workspaces at the same time.

- 19. SCRIPTS TESTING
- 20. PRE REQUEST SCRIPTS & TESTS
- 21. BEFORE: PRE REQUEST SCRIPTSARE SNIPPETS OF JAVASCRIPT CODE EXECUTED BEFORE THE REQUEST IS SENT.
- 22. AFTER: TESTSARE SNIPPETS OF JAVASCRIPT CODE EXECUTED AFTER THE REQUEST IS SENT. Test examples
- 23. pm.test("Response is ok", function () { //ok, success, redirection, clientError, serverError pm.response.to.be.ok; }); pm.test("Response can be processed by clients", function () { pm.response.to.be.json; pm.response.to.not.have.jsonBody("error"); });
- 24. pm.test('There is at least one contract', function(){ var data = pm.response.json(); pm.expect(data.contracts.length).to.be.above(0); }) pm.test('All contracts have one line', function(){ var data = pm.response.json(); for (i = 0; i < data.contracts.length; i++){ contract = data.contracts[i]; pm.expect(contract.lines.length).to.eql(1); } })
- 25. SCRIPT SCOPES
- 27. I love inserting data manually — Nobody, ever
- 28. PASS DATA BETWEEN REQUESTS
- 29. pm.test("Response contains customerId and userId", function () { pm.response.to.have.jsonBody("customerId"); pm.response.to.have.jsonBody("userId"); }); //Set global variable var data = pm.response.json(); pm.environment.set("customerId", data.customerId); console.log("Env customerId id is " + pm.environment.get("customerId")); pm.environment.set("userId", data.userId); console.log("Env userId id is " + pm.environment.get("userId"));
- 30. Pre request script... schema = { "properties": { "customerId": { "type": "string" }, "jsessionId": { "type": "string" }, "userId": { "type": "integer" } }, "required": [ "customerId", "userId", ] };
- 31. ...Test // Request MUST define a JSON schema under the name "schema" // in its pre-requests scripts pm.test('Schema is valid', function() { var result=tv4.validateResult(pm.response.json(), schema); if(!result.valid){ console.log(result); } pm.expect(result.valid).to.be.true; });
- 34. COLLECTION RUNNERS Collection runners send all requests in one collection one after another, with a specific: > Environment > Number of iterations > Delay between requests > Log level > Data file
- 35. READ DATA FROM FILES Override current variables with values defined in a .json or .csv file. [ { "username":"purpleurkle", "password":"waldos", "lineId": "1234567890", "contractId": "1234567890cc", "useDataFile": true } ] Read More
- 36. WORKFLOWS
- 37. WORKFLOWS Build and test workflows that mirror your actual use case of APIs. Read more
- 38. //Set next request postman.setNextRequest("menu web (flows)") //End collection run postman.setNextRequest(null)
- 39. MONITORS
- 40. MONITORS Monitors run a collection periodically, with a specific: > Environment > Run frequency > Region > Request timeout/delay > Email notifications on failure
- 42. NEWMAN Newman is a command line Collection Runner for Postman. You can configure continuous integration tools to respond to Newman's exit status codes and correspondingly pass or fail a build. Read More | Newman docs on Github
