#NottsTest: Postman & Newman - Automated API checks with Ioana Porcarasu

Our May Meetup features Ioana Porcarasu. She will running her API workshop called "Postman & Newman - Automated API checks (bonus: in your CI pipeline)". Bring laptops!

Rough agenda:

1. Postman - Write tests that anyone can use
2. Newman - Run your postman tests from anywhere
3. Bonus: Continuous Integration - Make those tests visible to everyone

Takeaways from the workshop:
We'll setup a basic environment to enable you to create and run data driven API tests

If you want to be hands-on during our workshop, you will need:
a laptop - macOS or Windows should do; Linux as well but I will be able to support only minimally with any installation errors)
Postman Native App

• the installation is very straight forward: https://learning.getpostman.com/docs/postman/launching_postman/installation_and_updates/
  Newman CLI
• same, installation very easy: https://github.com/postmanlabs/newman#getting-started
• to check if installed correctly, run 'newman -v' in a terminal

If you want to see what we can do with these tools without bringing your laptop or installing the tools, it's totally fine! We will be grouped anyway and you will have the opportunity to pair with someone :)
