Postman is one of the most popular software testing tools which is used for API testing. With the help of this tool, developers can easily create, test, share, and document APIs.
Postman is an API platform that helps users build, use, and test APIs:
-
-
API requests
Create and send API requests for HTTP, GraphQL, and gRPC. Postman’s API client automatically detects the response language and formats text.
-
Testing
Test APIs by writing and running test suites. Postman can automate many types of tests, including unit, functional, integration, end-to-end, regression, and mock tests.
-
-
Collaboration
Organize API work and collaborate with others using workspaces. Postman offers four types of workspaces: personal, team, partner, and public.
-
API lifecycle
Manage the entire API lifecycle, from design to documentation, testing, and mocking.
-
API repository
Store, catalog, and collaborate on API artifacts, including specifications, documentation, test cases, and metrics.
-
Governance
Shift development practices left to improve API quality and foster collaboration.
Postman offers both free and paid plans. The free plan includes up to 1,000 monthly API requests, while paid plans offer higher API request limits, advanced collaboration tools, and more.
