Creating a Runner in Postman

Runners are a way for you to automate your API testing. It takes a couple of minutes to set up but once you set it up, you could run hundreds of tests in a matter of seconds with the click of a button. This article will teach you how to create runners based on collections to automate your testing process.

This is built off of the tutorial from https://www.guru99.com/postman-tutorial.html

A prerequisite for this is downloading Postman(free from https://www.postman.com/downloads/) and creating an account which is also free.

This article is broken down into several sections

• Creating a requests
• Creating a test

Creating Requests

We are going to create a few requests to use as dummy data for this tutorial. Open Postman and create a new tab. In the URL type in the following request https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users , change the request method to GET and press the send button and confirm a 200(OK) response is returned.
