- 14. Tips for writing better Postman tests Group multiple assertions ● Keep them logically organized for those who review the test results and need to debug issues Use messages and console statements ● Provide visibility to validate conditional testing and execution order ● Prepend custom messages Use descriptive, consistent, or dynamic test names ● Use variables within test names to provide more detail, especially if the same test is used for multiple scenarios or iterations @getpostman @petuniaGray @poojamakes
- 16. What we learned today: ● Types of testing you can run in Postman ● Testing API workflows with Postbot ● Types of automation capabilities tests across diverse environments. ● Postman's collaboration features to manage test suites, share results with team members In summary @getpostman @petuniaGray @poojamakes
