Good video. Thank you for providing the source code. My only comment is the lesson glossed over some steps for example, naming an environment for the first time, e.g., bitcoin so that you can actually save to environment variable, how to actually pull in a forked environment into your workspace, why Postman gives a Try button for vs. a Send for these forked collections, warnings and behavior if you modify (e.g., add comments or change the name of a test from a forked collection to make more meaningful and how Postman will make a copy of the request (which you can always move to the appropriate folder), you can delete the forked request if you edited it more to your liking, etc. I mean, a tech person, can figure out with some elbow grease but I just had to pause the video and experiment with the missing steps.

It's not negative test case ..you are validating the response with diffrent diffrent parameter...

Negative test case ...is. ...suppose login api have...in login API first time I want to pass valid username invalid password ...
2nd test case.:-left bank both user name and password filed ..
3rdtest case ...invalid user name and valid password
How can we do that via scripting...?

[lifeisbeautifulpriti]

can we fetch data from endpoints path, and verify it with string in response, like we have param pass in get req

[siddharthau]

Thanks for the detailed explanation. Can we write a pre request script to upload an image file as binary in the Body of the request?
I have an api in which I upload the image binary in the body before sending the request. I'm trying to validate this through script. Could you please guide me how to write the script for this. Thank You.

Thank you for this excelent vídeo!

I want to learn about write tests in Postman to run in it via command line interface with Newman just to create a CI / CD process. But I want to use some Postman mock servers when execute somes tests in terminal with Newman.

Someone know if this is possible? (I didn't find articles or videos talking about this)

Where is the actual test? Why do you show us the default, obvious things?
