Postman RestAssured CheetSheet

This document compares Postman and Rest-Assured, two popular tools for API testing. Postman is an application with a graphical user interface that allows for both manual and automated API testing across different programming languages. Rest-Assured is a Java library best suited for automated API testing within Java-based projects and environments, where tests are written directly in code. The document outlines key differences in features between the tools such as ease of use, test creation, integration, parameterization, reporting and support for tasks like authentication, mocking and data-driven testing.
