Basic performance tests with Postman involve assessing the responsiveness and efficiency of an application programming interface (API) under conditions of heavy load. These tests typically focus on evaluating key performance metrics such as response times, throughput, and error rates when a large number of requests are made concurrently. Postman allows you to create a collection and run this as a performance test to test the scalability and reliability of your API. Begin this course by discovering how performance testing works. You will learn the steps involved in performance testing and the metrics that you can use to evaluate API performance. Next, you will set up a basic Python API running locally on your machine that stores data in a PostgreSQL. Finally, you will perform a full-scale performance test with Postman, configuring the number of virtual users to make requests to your API. You will learn to observe and interpret the metrics and errors for your requests and use different load profiles such as fixed and ramp up to run performance tests.
