This API Testing with Postman training is designed to help participants test, validate, and automate REST and SOAP APIs using Postman. The course covers API fundamentals, Postman workspace management, request building, assertions, scripting, test automation, environment management, and CI/CD integration. Participants will gain hands-on experience to design reliable API test suites and integrate API testing into modern DevOps workflows.

• Understand the fundamentals, architecture, and testing capabilities of Postman for API validation.
• Create, manage, and execute API requests for functional, integration, and regression testing.
• Work with collections, environments, variables, and authentication mechanisms for API workflows.
• Implement automated API tests, assertions, data-driven testing, and response validation techniques.
• Integrate API testing with reporting tools, version control, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Build scalable, reliable, and maintainable API testing solutions using Postman best practices.
