‎A development approach

‎On the scripting side ‎Local

‎Considers APIs before anything else
‎API- First
‎Postman has powerful runtime-based I‎t ensures that all of the platform/
‎node.js that allows you to add Dynamic ‎application functionalities are accessible
‎behavior to request and collection ‎through the APIs

‎That allows you to write API test build

‎Complete set of technical info and
‎request that can contain dynamic ‎API Jargon
‎Writing Testes ‎capability of the API
‎parameter as data b/w request and the
‎load ‎API documentation
‎It carries sufficient info to work with that

‎Add test on pre-request script and tests

‎Merging of different APIs into single front

‎Anything before hitting send has to under ‎Pre-request Script
