Description

Description:Let's Embark on a comprehensive Postman crash course designed for both testing engineers and software developers, whether you're just starting with APIs or looking to enhance your Postman skills. In today's interconnected IT landscape, APIs play a crucial role in data exchange, often utilizing JSON as a data format. However, mastering APIs involves navigating through various complexities such as HTTP methods, headers, cookies, and authentication mechanisms like API keys, tokens, and OAuth.Postman emerges as a powerful solution to simplify these intricacies. This crash course takes a practical and hands-on approach, enabling you to quickly create requests, understand HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE), work with query parameters and path variables, manage HTTP headers, and delve into authentication methods like Bearer tokens. As we progress, you'll learn to write API tests using javascript, organize them into collections, and share them with your team.The course doesn't stop at basic functionalities; it guides you through more advanced aspects like file uploads, REST, and working with real APIs. Whether you're in the development phase or ensuring post-implementation functionality, Postman can be your go-to tool for API testing. By the end of the course, you'll gain proficiency in running API tests using the Postman Collection Runner and Newman, providing a holistic overview of Postman's capabilities.This crash course is time-efficient, making it suitable for those looking to swiftly grasp Postman essentials. However, active participation and practice assignments are essential to develop the skills acquired during the course fully. If you're excited to streamline your API testing processes and gain a solid understanding of Postman, enroll today and embark on an insightful learning journey!
