Overview

This is a brief beginner’s course that was given for the Greenville, SC chapter of Women Who Code to provide an intro to API testing with Postman. The audience is primarily developers who would like to expand their options for testing their applications.

I have two recordings of this session available because the original recording was assumed to be lost. Thankfully, we have both.

This course was also intended to be interactive, with a shared Postman workspace and collection for this overview that could be imported locally for each student to use and experiment with during and after the class.

Topics covered include:

• QA terms
• Getting familiar with the Postman interface
• Variables and scope
• Environments
• Iteration data
