# Postman API Testing

Postman API Testing helps design Postman collections, environments, scripts, and Newman-ready regression plans for API testing workflows. Use it when a project uses Postman or needs Postman-ready API test planning.

**Install:**

```bash
npx degit https://github.com/naodeng/awesome-qa-skills/tree/main/skills/en/testing-types/api-test-postman ~/.claude/skills/api-test-postman
```

## README

# Postman API Testing (EN)

**Chinese version：** See the corresponding Chinese skill.

## When to Use

- Need outputs that should land in a Postman API testing workflow.
- The project already uses Postman or wants Postman-ready planning.

## Output Format Options

Markdown by default unless the request explicitly asks for another format.

## How to Use

1. Open `prompts/api-test-postman.md` and use it as the main prompt.
2. Add the real project context: scope, environment, constraints, risks, dependencies, and expected deliverable.
3. If the input is incomplete, return a usable first version and mark missing information and assumptions.

## Reference Files

- `prompts/api-test-postman.md`: main prompt for this skill.
- `references/framework-spec.md`: tool-specific structure and coverage notes.
- `references/setup-and-ci.md`: setup, execution, and CI notes.
- `examples/sample-context.md`: sample request context.
- `scripts/run-tests.sh`: lightweight local execution entry point.

## Common Pitfalls

- Do not use it with vague scope and no context.
- Do not treat every area as equally important.
- Do not skip assumptions and missing information.

## Best Practices

- Start from the prompt file, then add only the context that matters.
- Keep the output risk-driven and executable.
- If the request is incomplete, return a usable first version and mark gaps.
