#day67 Some specific features of Postman that I have found most beneficial include: 1. *Handling Multiple Parameters*: Postman allows for the easy manipulation and management of various parameters within API requests, facilitating thorough testing of different scenarios. 2. *Accurate Data Validation*: The ability to validate data accurately within responses helps ensure the integrity and correctness of backend processes. 3. *Effortless File Uploads*: Postman simplifies the process of uploading files, which is particularly useful for scenarios where file handling is essential in backend development. 4. *Effective Collection Management*: The feature that allows users to organize and manage collections efficiently aids in keeping track of different API endpoints and requests, enhancing overall project organization. 5. *Robust Debugging Capabilities*: Postman offers robust debugging functionalities, which are crucial for identifying and resolving errors in backend systems effectively. These features collectively contribute to streamlining backend testing processes, enhancing productivity, and improving the overall efficiency of backend development workflows

🚀 Excited to Share My Latest API Testing Project! 🚀 I recently completed an API testing project for the Fake Store API using Postman and Newman to automate and validate API responses. This project covers all essential API operations: retrieving product data, adding new items, updating details, and deleting records. Key Highlights: Automation: Utilized Newman to run the Postman collection from the command line, generating an HTML report. Test Coverage: Built tests for GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE requests to ensure API functionality, data accuracy, and response validation. Detailed Reporting: Included a full HTML report to track the status, response times, and any failed assertions for each test case. This project was a great opportunity to deepen my understanding of API testing and automation. I’m looking forward to applying these skills to even more complex scenarios!

🚀 Progress in API Development and Documentation Today 💻 This morning, I focused on documenting, testing, and integrating the /alarms/alarms endpoint in our project—a key feature for managing alarm data in trading strategies. While the code was already solid, I refined a few comments for better clarity and ensured everything adhered to our standards. 📝 What did we do? 1️⃣ Comprehensive Documentation: Covered everything from requirements and design to recommendations for optimization and security. 2️⃣ Integration Testing: Validated the endpoint behavior using tools like Postman, ensuring seamless interaction between the frontend and backend. 3️⃣ Deployment Preparation: Reviewed configurations, prepared the environment, and ensured readiness for scaling in production if necessary. 🔍 It was a day dedicated primarily to improving quality and stability, demonstrating that good code is not only written but also documented and maintained.

LearnTogether 🌐 **Understanding API Testing Status Codes** 🚀 HTTP status codes play a crucial role in API testing, indicating the outcome of a client's request. Here are some key status codes every Developer and tester should know: 1️⃣ 2xx Success: - 200 OK:- Request successful. - 201 Created:- New resource created. 2️⃣ 3xx Redirection: - 301 Moved Permanently:-Resource moved permanently. - 302 Found:-Resource temporarily located elsewhere. 3️⃣ 4xx Client Errors:- - 400 Bad Request:- Server cannot process request due to client error. - 401 Unauthorized:- Client must authenticate itself. - 403 Forbidden:- Server refuses to authorize request. - 404 Not Found:- Requested resource not found. - 405 Method Not Allowed:- Method not allowed for resource. 4️⃣ 5xx Server Errors:- - 500 Internal Server Error:- Generic server error. - 502 Bad Gateway:- Server acting as gateway received invalid response. Understanding these status codes helps developers and testers diagnose and resolve issues efficiently, ensuring the API functions correctly. What are your go-to status codes when testing APIs?

🚀 Excited to Share My Recent API Testing Project Using Postman! 🚀 I recently completed an API project using Postman to build and test various API requests. I created a Postman collection with requests to perform different actions, using an environment setup to manage data more flexibly. Each request was tested to ensure correct responses and status codes. ✨ Project Achievements: - Developed a thorough API testing suite in Postman, covering core operations and data interactions. - Automated test execution using Newman to generate detailed reports for tracking and evaluating results. - Designed an environment setup to support flexible test scenarios and improve adaptability. 📋 Features Tested: 1- Get all orders 2-Get single product 4-Get status 5-Create new cart 6-Get a cart 7-Get cart items 8-Add item to the cart 9-Modify an item in the cart 10-Replace an item in the cart 11-Delete an item in the cart 12-Get all orders 13-Create a new order 14-Get a single order 15-Update an order 16-Delete an order 17-Register a new API client This Task was an excellent opportunity to enhance my skills in API testing and report generation! A big thanks to Alaa Rashed , Mina Zarif ,Mostafa Salem for their invaluable guidance. ❤🙏 #APITesting #Postman #SoftwareTesting #Newman #GizaSystems

Hello All 👋🏼 👉🏼 Do you use Postman for your API Testing? 👉🏼 Are you executing testing all the APIs manually? 🤕 Then in this post let me enlighten you with an amazing hack that you can use for API Testing ✨ 👉🏼 Whether you are a Developer or tester Postman is one of the User-friendly tools when it comes to performing black box testing of the APIs. To automate Postman collection you will need 4 main tools 🔧 🔨: 1. Newman 2. Newman-reporter-HTML extra 3. A remote Repository 4. Jenkins This diagram shows step by step guide for implementing the same. Advantages for Postman Automation 😍: 1. Health Check of APIs ✔️ 2. Black Box Testing of APIs automated ✔️ 3. Easy Implementation and Better ROI ✔️ 4. E2E Flow Automation ✔️ Drawbacks for Postman Automation😖 : 1. Difficulty in maintaining master test Data ❌ 2. TestData has to be in CSV format ❌ 3. Cannot validate database table ❌ ⚠️ There is also a paid feature for the same in Postman but I am pretty sure most of us use Postman as freeware! Phew! That's it for today hope you have learned something new today!!! #api #testing #postman
