Module 3 of 6Lesson 2 of 2~16 min
Turning your requests into a tested collection
A handful of one-off requests proves little, while a tested collection becomes a shared reference. This lesson teaches you to check responses automatically, chain calls that depend on each other and cover failure cases. You can then replay the whole scenario in one click.
Lesson objective
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to add tests to your requests, reuse a value from a response in the next request, organize a collection that also covers failure cases and replay it in one click.
Topics covered
- API testing
- Postman collection
- variables
- failure scenarios
