Overview

Uplatz provides this comprehensive course on Postman. It is a self-paced course with pre-recorded video tutorials. You will be awarded Course Completion Certificate at the end of the course.

Postman is a popular API testing and development tool that allows developers, testers, and teams to build, test, document, and monitor APIs. It provides a user-friendly interface to send HTTP requests to APIs and view the responses, making it easier to work with REST, SOAP, and GraphQL APIs.

Postman is an application for API development environment which supports both SOAP and REST. API Testing has gained popularity these days because of evolution of Micro Services. Each components are made as web service and to test these web services we can make use of Postman to test RESTful APIs manually. In this you will learn from basics to intermediate concepts of API Testing using REST APIs using Postman.

Postman is an application programming interface (API) development tool that aids in the creation, testing, and modification of APIs. This utility has almost all of the features that a developer may want. Every month, over 5 million developers utilize it to make API development straightforward and easy. It is capable of making a variety of HTTP queries (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH), saving environments for later use, converting the API to code for various languages (like JavaScript, Python).

How Postman Works

  1. Create a Request:

    • You choose the request type (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.) and enter the API endpoint (URL).

    • You can add parameters, headers, body data (JSON, XML, etc.), and authentication.

  2. Send the Request:

    • Postman sends the request over the internet to the specified server/API.

  3. View the Response:

    • You get a detailed response from the server including status codes, response body, headers, and timing.

  4. Save and Reuse Requests:

    • Requests can be saved into collections for reuse and collaboration.

Use Cases

  • Manual API testing

  • Automating test cases for APIs

  • Debugging request/response issues

  • Exploring third-party/public APIs

  • Creating mock servers for frontend/backend dev

  • Generating and sharing API documentation

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
