This article introduces Postman, a data interface testing tool that helps you easily, quickly, and uniformly manage the data interfaces used and tested in your projects.
1. The Postman
Postman is a very popular API debugging tool. In fact, developers use it more. Because testers have more options for interface testing, such as Jmeter, soapUI, and so on. However, Postman is simple enough and powerful enough to debug interfaces during development.
In many series of courses I have recorded and shared with you, Postman will be used to demonstrate the interface demonstration and explanation. For example, in the open data interface shared with you in knowledge Planet recently, the demonstration part is to use Postman for interface management and call demonstration.

Key functional points:
- You don’t have to write any code to call the interface
- All interfaces can be managed in groups
- Can be used for interface design work
- Publish the design interface
- Interface test automation
- Automatically generate interface documents
2. Common functions
One of the most common features of Postman is the interface testing function. You can request the interface directly in the software, and all the request information can be seen at a glance in the software.
Postman can create the following projects.
Like the “National Weather Forecast Data Interface” I shared with you earlier, you can make a web request and see the requested information in its entirety.
And when you have a lot of data interfaces in a project, you can use Postman to manage those interfaces uniformly.
You can use Postman for data interface design work, which can generate data interface documentation directly and mock data interface servers directly for testing data calls without relying on back-end interfaces in development.
For interface testing, you can have Postman perform connectivity and correctness tests on your specified interface at a fixed frequency. You can also test simulated requests in different locations around the world.
3. Download
Postman is available as a free download for macOS, Windows, and Linux, and if you want to use it in Chrome, you can install a Chrome plugin.
