The power behind this is JS, making is quite easy to write many tests for specific coverage, including schema validation for a JSON response body, and much more.

Now we can make sure that our API GET request is responding with the 401 HTTP code. With a slight change, it looks like this: tests = de = 401 When using JavaScript in Postman (you can also use other languages), there are some predefined JavaScript code widgets that should be used. Tests = postman.getResponseHeader("WWW-Authenticate") Ī couple of words about the tests. Tests = postman.getResponseHeader("Server").has("nginx/1.10.1") Tests = postman.getResponseHeader("Server") Tests = postman.getResponseHeader("Connection").has("keep-alive") Tests = postman.getResponseHeader("Connection") Tests = postman.getResponseHeader("Date") Tests = responseBody.has("Unauthorized") Postman.cleanGlobalVariable("variable_key") In this collection we should include all the API tests we created for this sample API. Creating a Postman Collectionįirst of all we need to create our first collection in Postman. Using Newman allows teams to integrate API test automation into Continuous Integration tools. Newman is a command line executor for Postman tests, enabling you to make Postman's open-source API testing tool more powerful by running a Postman collection from the command line.

In this blog post I will show you how to use Newman + Postman. It also provides lots of useful functionalities on top of the main HTTP requests like API documentation, monitoring, and simulating a mock server. Postman is a tool for sending requests to API endpoints.
