POSTMAN AUTOMATION CODE

Let’s add a test script by selecting the Test tab and pasting the following code into the text area: If we select our request, we can see Pre-requests Script and Test tabs below the text field where we entered our target URL. Tests, which are executed after a response has been received.Pre-requests Scripts, which are executed before the request is sent.

The next thing we have to do is adding scripts to our requests. This export creates a JSON file we can share it with other developers and put inside version control. We can even export the collection it resides in by clicking on … in the lower right corner of our collection in the left sidebar and selecting Export. Now that we have saved our request, we can load it every time we start Postman and do it again. If we now click Save, our request is updated inside the collection we created before. Postman sends a GET HTTP request to the server, which, in turn, responds with an HTML page. If we click on the request, we can Enter request URL. It won’t have any target URL, so it can’t be sent at the moment. The new request shows up in the left sidebar under the new collection we created. To create a request, we have to follow these steps: With a collection to hold our requests, we can now define these requests.

Enter a name for the new collection, like “My API”.

Click on New Collection inside the Collections tab.

Click on the Collections tab in the left sidebar.

To create a collection, we have to do the following steps: For a simple API, we can use one collection for the whole API. To integrate test scripts with Postman requests, we have to create a new collection first. This export allows us to version all our requests, write tests for them with a friendly UI tool, and then integrate them in our CI/CD pipeline. These collections can then be exported as JSON files and run via a CLI tool called Newman. Postman executes these scripts before and after a request happened. The ability to save requests and manage them in collections and folders is the basis for test automation because with every request, folder, and collection, we can also save two scripts. Moesif API Analytics even allows us to generate Postman collections from the real requests it collected from our users. A graphical HTTP API client that allows us to construct, send, and save requests to an API of our choice. One of the major players here is Postman. We all have our favorite tools when creating our APIs.
