“Learn computer basics (bit, byte, file system, how browser works), HTTP protocol, SDLC/STLC, testing types, test design techniques (how to write tests), how to report bugs, sql testing, api testing with postman, scrum/agile model... And after you feel strong in manual testing, learn Playwright with JS for test automation.”
“Any good resources to learn api testing using postman and ui testing using playwright? I have tried finding yt videos and tutorial docs but they are not that detailed and are basic.”
“Start with Postman, learn requests/responses, status codes, headers, auth and JSON, then just start breaking things on purpose lol, The coding can come later.”
“build a crud api with spring boot and postgres, no frontend at all, just hit it with postman. once you can create/read/update/delete a thing and it survives a restart you know more than most tutorials give you.”
“Why learn curl -v when Postman exists? I did look it up when I applied because they mentioned it in JD, but my understanding is that Postman basically simplified the process of typing a request using curl -v, and it's the industry standard tool?”
“Keep your lead experience (queue management, SLAs, bug repro stepsetc.) but learn some web basics like curl v in in terminal, payload inspections in browser devtool, and build a simple postman collection touching a public API like GitHub or other. Learn SQL (spend a few weeks), understand network tab and cors, and learn terminal basic.”
“Does Cyberark Postman Collection are being pushed and managed by Cyberark or its someone outside of Cyberark as postman collection is not upto date as well as seems psPAS is not updated too as per 15.2?”
“Which API platform is your daily driver, and what’s your go-to alternative? 🚀
Between these four:
1️⃣ Postman
2️⃣ GitHub (Public APIs)
3️⃣ Apives
4️⃣ RapidAPI”
“Thanks, I messaged a friend and they said to use Postman. I checked the job description and it wants experience testing in Postman, as well as monitoring experience with Datadog, Grafans, and Splunk.”
“uh my experience is if we're talking about the same thing validate manually via postman. Claude when there are alot of lines in response will read first hundred, do a few key searches and claim something is not there and ignore pagination unless you remind him of it.”
“Do you:
* duplicate those requests in each test?
* create some kind of helper/function?
* use Postman folders/scripts/variables?
* maintain it as a reusable setup or fixture?”
“The browser still requires Access-Control-Allow-Origin, Allow-Headers, and Allow-Methods on the actual response, which is why Postman works and Chrome fails.”
“I had a cors problem once where a postman request worked but the browser didn't, I had to add an options method along with my post method but I dont know if this will help you in your case.”
“I've got a Floci instance running (using Docker Compose) with a REST API Gateway service, which I can call successfully with Postman. Problem is the browser CORs blocking requests, and I keep getting this;”
“My technical work includes UI automation with Selenium, API testing with Postman, and Python scripting. I have also built two internal automation tools from scratch in the telecom domain, one for network migrations and one for subscriber migrations, using Claude as a coding assistant to build them faster.”
