"We have seen a return on investment."
"They have a feature where they can record traffic and create tests on the report traffic."
"The solution is scalable."
"We do a lot of web services testing and REST services testing. That is the focus of this product."
"Generating new messages, based on the existing .EDN and .XML messages, is a crucial part or the testing project that I’m currently in."
"The interface and the different types of API methods you can use are the most valuable aspects of this solution."
"We use it for REST API testing. Feature-wise, it is pretty lightweight. It is pretty fast, and we don't have to do a lot of things. We can just simply go and post our endpoint, and it gives different kinds of authorizations. We usually use authentication 2.0, which is the most common industry practice. So, it has the support for authorization through 2.0."
"Postman is useful for API testing."
"Postman lets you create, manage, and validate a suite of tests. It has several features to help you organize your test suite. You can also automate stuff with a lot of validations and assertions. Postman supports GraphQL, and you can do various kinds of calls."
"Postman uses the DRY framework of JavaScript and that framework is easy and a good way to put assertions on responses."
"The user-interface is very good."
"The product is easy to implement."
"The solution is stable."
"The summary reports could be improved."
"Tuning the tool takes time because it gives quite a long list of warnings."
"The feedback that we received from the DevOps of our organization was that the tool was a little heavy from the transformation perspective."
"From an automation point of view, it should have better clarity and be more user friendly."
"The product is very slow to start up, and that is a bit of a problem, actually."
"Enabling/disabling an optional element of an XML request is only possible if a data source (e.g., Excel sheet) is connected to the test. Otherwise, the option is not available at all in the drop-down menu."
"Reports could be customized and more descriptive according to the user's or company's requirements."
"UI testing should be more in-depth."
"There is no support for the testing of the SOAP APIs."
"Reporting can be better. If you have bigger APIs, it takes time."
"There needs to be more flexibility surrounding the testing of SOAP APIs."
"I would like to have a code snippet where I can write a code and for the responses of the endpoints to be validated using my custom business conditions."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"One thing which Postman needs to improve is the documentation. The documentation of Postman is not that great when compared to other tools."
"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."
