Hello, I am Rutik, today I am giving information about what is Postman. If you like this information, please share it with your friends. Leave me a comment to improve my writing skills and subscribe by email for future updates.
Introduction
Postman is a standalone software platform to build, test, design, modify, and document API.
Postman has the ability to make various types of HTTP requests like getting < POST< PUT< PATCH< and convert the API to code for languages like JavaScript and Python.
Why use Postman?
- Accessibility
One can use it anywhere after installing Postman into the device by simply logging in to the account.
- Use Collections
Postman allows users to build collections for their API calls. Every set creates multiple requests and sub-folders. It will help to organize the test suits.
- Automation Testing
Tests can be performed in several repetitions or iterations by using the collection Runner or Newman.
- Debugging
To effectively debug the tests, the postman console helps to track what data is being retrieved.
Postman Pros
- Ease of access.
- Supports multiple headers, raw data, and param options.
- The response can also be visualized in different forms.
- Response code can be copied.
- Full API code can be imported in almost all major languages.
Postman Cons
- Software is stuck sometimes when there are lots of database APIs.
- Not so beginner-friendly.
- It's not possible to test more than 1 API simultaneously.
