Automated testing optimizes API workflow and collaboration
Since I am using the free tier, one improvement would be to increase the number of requests you can send in a short time period. Currently, if I send 200-300 requests in a short period, Postman Enterprise requires a 30-second wait before sending another bundle of requests unless you upgrade to a higher tier. Secondly, Postman Enterprise sometimes takes several minutes to load the whole workspace. With 2,000-3,000 requests in a workspace, it can take a minute or two to load all requests. When creating a new workspace and moving requests between workspaces, depending on internet speed, it can take a longer period to copy those requests or workspace from one place to another.

I've noticed, once or twice, when there were some updates pushed by Runscope, at times it didn't refresh the pages. I was running it, there were multiple tests running at the same time, and it didn't update the webpage I was looking at. So I had to refresh it manually. Occasionally, it still happens. Another thing I have found is that the built-in editor for the scripts can be improved a lot. Instead of making such a basic editor, maybe include a little more so it is easier to look at things and debug. Finally, other than the Runscope documentation, I haven't seen too much elsewhere. I haven't seen a user community.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is simple, easy to use and a good tool."
"It is a stable solution."
"This solution offers a free version."
"Postman offers great features, so I get a better opportunity to run bulk tasks through single command lines and single APIs, and we have an internal Postman AI tool, which helps improvise the code and analyze the quality if you find any errors."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The solution has a great user interface and collection of features."
"Postman helps us to automate the API testing in the team."
"Postman allows you to incorporate and export the test cases we create. It enables me to share the test cases with my colleagues, so I don't have to copy them into an Excel sheet. Postman lets me export the dataset and share it with my team. They can use my test case for their testing."
"Tests are per-step configurable with script capabilities and support for token-based authentication using variables. Configurable test frequency and integration with both Slack and PagerDuty for alerting our DevOps team are also important. General use of the dashboard by multiple team members is also valuable."
"We can receive an email and slack notifications if tests are failing/passing."
"We love the fact that we can have our API tests run on a schedule as often as we need. We also take advantage of being able to set up different environment settings so that we can use the same test in our production, integration, and QA environments, easily. The ability to string together a number of API tests for a test suite is very important to us as well."
"You can run it off the cloud and against different data centers. That's one of the plus points for most people for this product, as opposed to some other solutions."
"When it's a problem on our side, the server is down, or there is a lack of memory, the first thing to break is the API, because the calls can't be processed. So we know exactly at that moment because we receive notifications, and we can take action. It doesn't only notify us of the type problem, but it also links it to our servers."
"This solution has improved our responsiveness to issues in both production and non-production environments. Through integration with Slack, our development and DevOps teams are quickly aware of issues related to new changes deployed to non-production environments, which tightens our feedback loop during testing. Through integration with PagerDuty, our DevOps resources are able to reduce the adverse impact of a given production issue."
"It is a cloud-based environment for building and executing tests, which allows me to focus on building, running, and reviewing test results."
"We utilize modular tests based on environment variables. These have saved QA a lot of time when setting up our back-end automation."
 

Cons

"We'd like to see some better UI in newer versions."
"If we have a certain build on one machine it won't work with another build even if we are using the same URL. It would give us a connection refuse. So developing environment compatibility would make it better."
"I rate the support for Postman a four out of five."
"The reporting could be better. It should give you a detailed PDF report after you run a test."
"Integration should be improved with our continuation system because we use Azure DevOps separately."
"One of the features that is missing in Postman is reporting; it's very basic."
"I would like to see advanced automation in reference to Postman."
"I don't think there is any need for comments on improvements."
"If triggering test bucket via trigger API, there is no option to see if the tests which were triggered passed or failed."
"There are not many options for scalability."
"I would like to see easier integration and display of test results so that the data could be shared via a dashboard within our company. (Some integration is possible, provided you use one of the supported platforms)."
"We would like to have an improved ability to share a set of tests across different environments (e.g., dev, stage, and prod)."
"the built-in editor for the scripts can be improved a lot. Instead of making such a basic editor, maybe include a little more so it is easier to look at things and debug."
"Currently, we can only schedule to the nearest five minutes, one hour, two hours, etc. If we could set up the exact time that we want it to run, that would be good because sometimes we have one service that crosses another service."
"Reliability. I would like to see more money invested in disaster recovery testing of the application. The product should be hosted across several AWS regions so if there are issues with an EC2 instance in a particular region, the whole application won't be affected. Once or twice a year there are issues with AWS that causes the reliability of the application to suffer."
"Navigation can be a little tricky when changing run environments and switching between test run results and editing the tests. It would be nice if you could switch the environment for all tests in a Bucket to run, rather than having to change each test environment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are using the free version that is available."
"This is an open source solution."
"The solution has a licensing fee which might be prohibitive."
"The solution is open-source and free."
"We do not pay any money for Postman."
"Postman is a free service."
"I rate the price of Postman a four out of five."
"I rate the product's price a nine or ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is very expensive. Postman is an expensive tool for Turkey."
"Having the different plans organized by team size, buckets, and requests per billing period works for our needs. Larger companies may need to take a close look at these elements."
"Pricing is fair."
"Runscope pricing is unbeatable"
"The price for the product is very reasonable for a team of more than four to five members."
