Postman: Easy Start to API Testing Automation

Many are familiar with Postman — a powerful tool for working with APIs, often used for test automation. In this workshop, we will not cover the basics of the tool, but instead focus on working with collections and tests within them. We will discuss which variables to use and when, talk about data preparation in pre-request scripts, error handling, and cleaning up test data after testing.

We will also look at using external libraries, how to validate JSON schemas, and give attention to requests branching. Everything we discuss and demonstrate will be based on real-world use cases we have encountered. While most of the workshop will focus on working with REST API, we will also showcase Postman's capabilities for working with other types of APIs such as GraphQL, WebSocket, SOAP, and gRPC.

This workshop is designed for users who are already familiar with the basic features of Postman and want to deepen their knowledge. It will provide insights on how to build an API testing automation process from scratch to the automatic execution of tests in version control systems like GitHub.
