10 Postman features everyone should know
Blog post from Postman
Postman, widely recognized as an API testing tool, offers a diverse array of features that extend far beyond its primary function, enhancing the efficiency and capabilities of users. The Postman API enables users to perform CRUD operations on account data, while the webhooks feature allows triggering collection runs via API calls. Postman Echo serves as a sanity checker and learning tool by echoing back requests, thus facilitating testing of REST clients. The Postman Visualizer allows users to create customizable visual representations of response data using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Built-in libraries such as Moment.js, Lodash, and Faker.js are available to simplify scripting tasks. Workflow control is achieved through the postman.SetNextRequest method, enabling conditional logic for request sequencing. Collaboration is enhanced with features like commenting, forking, and shared workspaces, while collection-level settings support the DRY principle. Monitors provide ongoing regression testing by running collections against various environments, and built-in GraphQL support caters to the growing popularity of this query language. Additionally, Postman documentation allows for creative expression through Markdown, enabling the inclusion of images and gifs for a more engaging user experience.
