Deep Dive Into API Prototyping and Testing with Postman v10 (201)
In this 8-hour workshop, learn about advanced scripting, dynamic variables and contextual mock responses. Create complex API prototypes, detailed documentation, and advanced tests. Leverage the Private API Network to find, publish and manage your internal APIs.
Learning objectives
After completing this workshop, learners will be able to:
- Design and prototype APIs using mock servers
- Utilize dynamic variables to generate realistic sample data when mocking and testing
- Leverage the Private API Network to find, publish and manage your internal APIs
- Create complex integration test suites using JavaScript
- Automate testing with the Collection Runner and Postman CLI
- Create detailed workflow documentation
- Use contextual mock responses to access data from the body of the incoming request and return that data in the response
Prerequisites
- Basic understanding of HTTP
- Basic understanding of REST APIs
- Basic understanding of Postman
- Basic understanding of mocking in Postman
- Ability to work with collections and requests in Postman
- Ability to create workspaces in Postman
- Ability to create and set variables at multiple scopes in Postman
Target Audience
This workshop is ideal for technical QA and API engineer learners who want more advanced prototyping, scripting, testing, and API management techniques.
Make collaborative ideation easy by prototyping APIs in Postman
In the case of prototyping in Postman, collaboration opens pathways to better and more consistent feedback from stakeholders. In this module, you'll learn the importance of configuring mock servers to return specific examples for testing purposes and using dynamic variables to insert dummy data for a more realistic testing experience.

Contextualized workflow documentation to jump start API projects
Workflow documentation allows your end users to run use-case-specific workflows in consecutive order with no code. Who doesn't love that? In this module, you'll learn to control the request execution order, manage variable values, chain requests and insert dummy data using dynamic variables.

Increase API discoverability by publishing to the Private API Network
Publishing an API to the Private API Network makes viewing, testing, and evaluating your API easy for consumers, but still allows you to make changes to the original file. In this module you'll learn how to effectively utilize the Private API Network as the single source of truth for internal APIs to promote API reusability and achieve faster delivery.

Supercharged scripting for integration testing
Testing at it's most basic level is an opportunity to verify that your APIs work as expected. But this isn't your basic, every day testing. In this module, you'll learn how to access request and response data for discrepancy checks and use faker data to test workflows with different formats and values.
