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 a very stable solution."
"Postman uses the DRY framework of JavaScript and that framework is easy and a good way to put assertions on responses."
"The tool is simple and easy."
"What is most valuable for me is that we can create and share collections between the team members."
"It is easy to install, as well as to learn, particularly for new users, even if they are not developers."
"It helps me to test APIs independently. It also supports hosting."
"No coding required."
"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."
"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."
"We have the ability to populate environment variables using scripts. This allows us to keep the configuration mostly dynamic and avoid a lot of manual updates when something changes."
"It uses JavaScript which is easy."
"It is a cloud-based environment for building and executing tests, which allows me to focus on building, running, and reviewing test results."
"Environment initial variables allow our team to run tests against multiple environments on the fly."
"As we have the APIs scheduled, we use the notifications. We know the exact moment it is breaking something that might impact the customer system, that might result in a feature not working. We know "in advance" and we can fix it before the customer notices. It helps us to be more proactive."
"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."
"Valuable features include: Being able to add tests as sub-tests in a parent test for regression testing; notifications for tests that pass/fail; being able to customize expected results with assertions; being able to set tests to run daily."
 

Cons

"There is no support for the testing of the SOAP APIs."
"It should be able to check the records and compare them to the regression testing more on the automation side."
"I rate the support for Postman a four out of five."
"It would be beneficial to expand functionality with additional testing options."
"There are definitely features that could be improved; for example, if you derive it from Ready API, maybe Postman can be a good contender and replicate some features such as more scripting and control over API calls."
"I was not even aware that it was possible to automate tasks in Postman...Some features related to the automation of tasks need to be added to the solution."
"If there is any way to have a record and playback feature through UI, as we do in Selenium and IDEs such as Eclipse, it would be great."
"Postman needs to improve its support for a lot of integrations."
"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."
"The user interface requires a lot of clicking around."
"There are not many options for scalability."
"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."
"We would like the ability to configure Runscope behavior when a given test has its schedule modified. That is, in a non-production environment, we often need to pause a test (either by removing it from the schedule or adjusting its frequency) and this results in the automatic kick-off of this test in all other environments. We would like the ability to simply pause a test for a specific shared environment without causing additional tests to be started."
"File upload is a big part of the products that we test. The lack of file upload in Runscope requires us to still use UI (Selenium) automated tests for these scenarios."
"If you forget to set the default environment during test creation, you have to go through every test and make sure that it is set to the environment that you prefer if using shared environments. If there was an option to force all tests within a bucket into a specific environment with one click, this would save a lot of time."
"We definitely make use of historical test results, especially when tracking more difficult issues such as timeouts. Per our test frequency (15 minutes) we often need to go back further than the last 100 test runs. We are aware that results further back in time are available through the Runscope API, however, it would be great if the dashboard allowed easy access to a larger amount of historical data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This tool is open-source and free to download and use."
"I rate the price of Postman a four out of five."
"The solution is open-source and free."
"I use the tool's free version."
"I am using the free option."
"The solution has moderate pricing."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"Unlike APIs, the solution does not require a license."
"The price for the product is very reasonable for a team of more than four to five members."
"Pricing is fair."
"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."
"Runscope pricing is unbeatable"
