/api-tests-postman

Primary LanguageHTML

Setup

  1. Download and install postman

  2. Import collections from this repo

  3. Download and install node.js

  4. Install newman from cmd:

npm install -g newman

Decided to use environment variables because:

  • global variables have lower precedence and can be overridden by environment variables
  • seems more natural to use --environment option when running collection using newman
  1. Install newman-reporter-htmlextra from cmd:
npm install -g newman-reporter-htmlextra
