![]() There’s an Operation allowing to retrieve an order using its unique identifier. For a global view of tests in Postman and their capabilities, we recommend reading the Introduction to Scripts.Īs an illustration to how Microcks use Postman and offers, let’s imagine we are still using the Test API we mentioned above. Such scripts should then be written so that they can be applied to the different examples but Microcks offers some way to ease that. Contrary to SoapUI usage where different tests assertions can be put on each test request, Postman only allows you to attach scripts to the request level and not to examples. ![]() Postman allows to attach some test scripts defined in JavaScript to a request or Operation. This is an optional step that is only required if you also want to use Microcks to test your Service or API implementation as the development process progresses. In contrary to SoapUI usage, you will not need defining mapping rules between sample requests and responses : example are perfectly suited for that. You’ll give each example a meaningful name regarding the use-case it supposed to represent. The next step is now to create a bunch of examples for each of the requests/operations of your Collection as explained by the Postman documentation. Establishing an example during the earliest phase of API development requires clear communication between team members, aligns their expectations, and means developers and testers can get started more quickly. Here’s the result for our Test API:ĭevelopers can mock a request and response in Postman before sending the actual request or setting up a single endpoint to return the response. Elements of this list will be called Operations within Microcks. We are using here the Test API Swagger file.Īfter successful import and collection creation, you should get the following result into Postman: a valid Collection with a list of default requests created for your API paths and verbs. The screenshot below shows how to create a new collection from a Swagger file. A best practice being using a “contract first” approach for API definition and management, you’ll typically choose to Import File or Import From Link referencing a Swagger or OpenAPI contract definition. Collection initialisationĬollection initialization is done through Import of an existing resource into Postman. We recommend having a look at our sample Postman collection for Test API to fully understand and see in action those conventions. ![]() By convention, we allow setting it through the collection description using this syntax: version=1.0 - Here is now the full description of my collection. As of writing, Postman does not allow editing of such custom property although the Collection v2 format allow them. It is a good practice to change this version identifier for each API interface versioned changes.
