Lecture 26: What is API's tools test || Introduction with Postman

Description:
Postman is a widely-used API development and testing tool that simplifies the process of creating, testing, and documenting APIs. It provides a user-friendly interface for building and sending HTTP requests, inspecting responses, and organizing tests into collections. Postman supports various HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.) and allows users to automate tests, manage environments, and generate API documentation.
Key Features:
Request Building: Create and send requests with different HTTP methods, headers, parameters, and body data.
Response Inspection: View and analyze API responses, including status codes, headers, and body content.
Collections: Organize API requests and tests into collections for better management and reusability.
Environments: Manage different environments (e.g., development, staging, production) with environment-specific variables.
Automation: Write tests using JavaScript to automate validation of API responses.
Documentation: Generate and share API documentation directly from Postman collections.
This lecture will provide a comprehensive introduction to API testing tools with a focus on using Postman, helping you to understand the importance of API testing and how to effectively use Postman to test and document your APIs.
