We used the solution in multiple ways, including:
1. We create Rest APIs for the communication of the front end to the backend. For the testing of those Rest APIs, we use Postman. It provides a user-friendly platform for API testing with all the request methods like GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH, and many more. We can create our own collections like group requests. We can easily share the collection with the team.
2. We are using Postman to create the documentation of the REST APIs, which the backend team creates, so the frontend engineer can easily see the request type, headers, methods, and response body for the request.
3. It is also used as an API testing tool by the automation testing team. We can write our own tests with the assert statements in Postman after the response.
Postman helps us to automate the API testing in the team.
It helps to share the Rest API documents with the front-end team so that they can easily integrate the API with the front-end.
It also helps in the monitoring of the APIs to check the health of an existing API.
It makes API development and testing faster and more user-friendly. It does not require any prior knowledge to work with the Postman.
It supports the GQL requests as well as the REST API.
