API TESTING is a type of software testing that involves testing

application programming interfaces (APIs) directly and as part of integration testing to determine if they meet expectations for functionality, reliability, performance, and security.

Hi Pramode! Thank you. Your videos of great help.
I'm trying to use the snippets from Postman but the scripts which I have is quite different from yours. For example,

//Mandatory fields should be returned

tests["User Name is present"] = responseBody.has("userName")

pm.test("User Name is present", function () {

});

In the above, both tests are passing but I prefer the first one as it much easier to read. Can you plz tell me how I can change it
