Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In our current business in my organization, we are moving from a legacy system to a new system with the latest cloud technology, and since everything is new, we are testing from scratch. Here, postman plays an important role in API testing. Managing collection through Postman is so easy that it makes testing comfortable.

Pros

  • API Testing and Debugging.
  • Environment management.
  • Variable management.
  • Automated Testing with Collections and Test Script.

Cons

  • I feel that good version control is missing.

Likelihood to Recommend

So, one of the significant and essential use cases for API is to test RESTful APIs during development; this gives early feedback in agile development without more test setups. It also supports writing test scripts in JavaScript to validate response data (status codes, headers, body). Mocking is also provided by API, which is important in agile development.

Postman: organize and improve efficiency of API development.

Rating: 9 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our platform uses a lot of microservices. It has a lot of REST API for various purposes such as to get the information about what task is being currently handled by the CI, is there something which seems to be failing, etc. In order to address all of these problems, we use Postman to query the current state of our microservices.

Pros

  • Ability to store commands
  • Integrates with Jenkins

Cons

  • Faster bug fixes

Likelihood to Recommend

If you are planning to run different test cases on different environments and it is kind of a repetitive job, I believe it is always better to use Postman since it just gives you an amazing, resilient UI. Its integration with Jenkins makes it easier to execute tests within the build systems itself. Also, they have a Newman feature which enables running Postman form systems that dont have GUI.

Rating: 10 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Postman to test through several of our integrations and custom developed web services. It's been an invaluable tool as we work through expanding into micro services and other areas. With the tool, it allows us a quick way to develop a payload as well as share our projects with other team mates.

Pros

  • Collaboration is easy with teammates.
  • The interface is straight forward.
  • Scripting the project to other languages is a convenient feature.

Cons

  • Documentation could be a little bit better organized.
  • They could provide some common examples.
  • The project organizer needs work from a UX perspective.

Likelihood to Recommend

Postman is perfect for testing and developing web services in a normal or enterprise environment. Using it as a client to perform the consumer experience is optimal. What it is not good for is a tool to generate code, or for automation, as it is built specifically for testing and debugging from a development point of view.
