![]() It’s a well known saying that as a tester you need to make sure that whatever you’re checking actually checks what you think you’re checking. On the other hand, this will avoid testing purely technical requirements, these detailed functionalities are probably already covered by unit tests. Writing them down does provide quick insights into whether all ‘functional’ requirements have been covered. Then, add detailed descriptions where possible. You can read more about this in the chapter “Maintainable” further on in this blog.īesides it is advisable to describe scenarios that at least define the base functionality of the API-under-test. This way your code will stay maintainable. Then call these variables from within tests on a higher (sub)folder level. Define these variables in your pre-request script for each scenario. If you get results per scenario that only differ on certain aspects, then create variables for these results. Maintaining automated tests is much easier when you only work with one piece of code that can be reused in a lot of checks. Maybe these are easy to feed with variables. This can help you to figure out whether you want to do similar assertions. Do you know which scenarios you will be testing? Then think about how you can or want to do the validations, without writing too much (javascript)code yet. Make sure you always work risk-oriented, and first look at which functionality is added and/or changed. Still, it is wise to first think about which scenarios to test. It’s tempting to immediately start automating. Despite this focus, you will probably also recognize aspects that can help in improving more testtools than just Postman. In this blog I will take you on a journey on how to use Postman and implement these success factors. Within this project, I mainly work with Postman, ( ). I recognize all these facets in my current project. My vision on test automation embraces the 5 key factors mentioned above. Successes you achieved by implementing test automation. This will definitely lead to the downfall of the It can be the case that maintenance or getting provide quick insights, but above all be easily and quickly editable in Illusion that testcode never needs to be adapted in the future.ĥ.

In other words, your test automation should:ġ. TRIMS stands for Targeted, Reliable, Informative, Maintainable and Speedy. This was written with the help of TRIMS, which you can read about in the following blog: I recently read a blog about the factors that can make test automation a success. This, however, is the translated version of Andre’s Dutch blog which you can re-read right here. If this blog sounds familiar, it might be because you’ve aready read it. ![]()
