API Testing with Postman Literacy (Beginner Level)
- 30m
- 30 questions
The API Testing with Postman Literacy (Beginner Level) benchmark evaluates your essential understanding of sending requests (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE), writing test scripts, using collection runners, and implementing authentication. You will be assessed on your ability to use variables and other techniques in Postman and recognize the process of application programming interface (API) testing in Postman. Learners who score high on this benchmark demonstrate a recognition of the basics of testing APIs, working with variables, using data files, performing end-to-end testing, and creating mocks in Postman.
