In the modern software development life cycle, interface testing is a crucial part. Postman is a tool that makes interface testing easy. The following is a simple usage tutorial to help you get started quickly.
Install Postman
First, you need to install Postman on your computer. You can download and install it from the official website. Once the installation is complete, you can open the app and create a new request.
Create request
In the Postman application, you can create a new request. You can select the HTTP request type (e.g. GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.), and the requested URL. You can also add request headers and bodies to better test your API.
send request
After creating the request, you can click the "Send" button to execute the request. Postman sends a request to the URL and receives the response. You can view the response status code, header information, and response body.
Assertion testing
In Postman, you can use assertions to test your API. For example, you can use assertions to test whether the response body contains specific data or conforms to a specific format.
Variables and environments
Postman also supports the use of variables and environments. You can define variables to simplify setting request parameters, and variables can be set as environment variables to be shared across multiple requests.

gather
In Postman, you can organize your request collections and export and import collections to share with others. You can create a collection and add multiple requests to the collection to better manage your requests.
