API Testing with Postman

In modern delivery environments, api testing with postman must support fast feedback without sacrificing evidence or control. This course enables learners to organise API requests into maintainable Postman collections and validate functional workflows with variables, scripts and repeatable runs, working through postman workspace and collection design, building http requests from api documentation and variables and environments. Learners build a collection from documentation, manage environments, add post-response assertions, pass data between requests and run the suite while interpreting failures and improving test coverage. Exercises require clear assumptions, useful failure messages and proportionate review. The resulting collection and execution report form clear portfolio evidence and a bridge into command-line or CI-based API automation.
