Postman enables testing of any API across HTTP, GraphQL, gRPC, MCP, MQTT, WebSockets, and AI in a single collection. It streamlines testing workflows to catch issues throughout the API lifecycle. Core capabilities include pre-configured JavaScript code snippets for authoring tests that validate performance, reliability, and behavior against REST, GraphQL, SOAP, and gRPC architectures. The Collection Runner chains requests to validate complex end-to-end workflows. Tests automate on Postman Cloud with scheduling and notifications, or run in CI/CD pipelines using Newman or the Postman CLI. The Postman Console inspects network calls for debugging, and environment variables support dedicated testing setups. Integrations with tools like Datadog and New Relic incorporate tests into incident response.
