Postman for continuous cross-platform operation

We are testing XML or JSON files with product catalogs that our suppliers are giving us to sync their products. We are testing our APIs that we provide to our affiliates. We find glitches and bugs to our apps by multiple tests. It's easier to build apps and APIs on Postman first and then to our websites and apps using code snippet generator.

PROS

I like the fact that everything is synced with my account to all my devices and it's compatible with all Operating Systems. The fact that I can import collections of featured services for testing (e.g. Zoho which we use heavily for our services) is very cool. I like Code snippet generator which helps me generating curl requests for different kind of projects. The API Documentation creator is saving us a lot of time when creating custom tools for services we provide to affiliates.

CONS

If there's one thing I can ask for is better tab management. When I open many tabs there is a mess on my workspace. I know I can create a new workspace or open a new Window, but if I could just group tabs it would be a life saver.

Great API lifecycle managment tool for rest/json APIs

Postman has become one of essential tool in our software development projects (web services, microservices). We use it mostly for testing rest/json APIs and documenting APIs we created in form of collections. Secondly we often also receive Postman collections as part of integration documentation from other vendors and that helps a lot with integration.

PROS

Postman has become one of essential tool in our software development projects (web services, microservices). It is the best tool for testing rest/json APIs. Support for exporting/importing collection and environment data.

CONS

Nothing special, but sometimes during troubleshooting results in Postman can be misleading and it is useful to do simple curl calls to see what is happening behind the scenes.

Reason for choosing Postman

Postman offers better support for rest/json APIs.

Getting Pretty Glitchy

Good, but could be better if the issue noted above (which causes A LOT of extra work) were fixed.

PROS

Postman provides a great framework to write automated tests for our software. It is easy to organize and run full suites of tests with one click.

CONS

Lately, the software has been reverting changes on its own. Sometimes this happens as you are writing a test. Other times, the changes are gone when you return to the collection the next day. There seems to be some issue with the synching function. We often notice that collections that have been complete deleted return to a workspace, seemingly at random.

Best API testing tool. Period.

I wish Postman came into existence long back. It has made our life easier regarding the creation and testing of APIs. No doubt it is a unicorn and has a bright future.

PROS

Postman is one single solution for all your API needs. It is extremely simple to create, test, and share your APIs.

CONS

The API URLs we have tested will be deleted after you leave Postman, meaning you have to enter the API URLs every time you want to try. This is a bit annoying and should be addressed.

Reason for choosing Postman

Once familiar with the platform, it becomes easy to operate, and its ease of use and features differentiate it from its competitors.
