Postman Assistant-AI-powered API testing assistant

Example

Validating that the status code returned by the API is 200, and that the response body contains the expected JSON key-value pairs.

Scenario

A user is testing a weather API and needs to verify that the response body includes accurate weather data, such as temperature and humidity. Postman Assistant can help create a test script to check if the expected fields exist and match certain values.

Example

Creating a script that checks if the API response time is under 500ms.

Scenario

A user working on an e-commerce application needs to ensure the product search API responds quickly to maintain a good user experience. Postman Assistant helps automate the process of setting thresholds for response times, ensuring any slower responses trigger alerts.

Example

Generating a dynamic authorization token before sending a request to a protected API endpoint.

Scenario

When testing an API with OAuth 2.0, the user may need to dynamically generate an access token before each request. Postman Assistant helps by scripting the process of acquiring this token in a pre-request script and automatically adding it to the headers.

Example

Setting and updating environment variables dynamically based on the API response.

Scenario

A user is running a test suite that spans multiple environments (e.g., development, staging, production). Postman Assistant assists in setting up environment variables like base URLs or authentication tokens dynamically to adapt to each environment seamlessly.

Example

Creating tests to validate complex business logic such as checking the total price of items in a shopping cart after a discount is applied.

Scenario

In an online retail API, a user may want to ensure that a coupon discount is applied correctly and the total price reflects this. Postman Assistant aids in writing tests that validate these types of business logic, reducing the need for manual checks.
