Describe your experience using Postman for API testing and request automation.

Postman is a convenient tool for testing APIs that allows you to create, send, and analyze HTTP requests. In my practice, I used Postman to verify the correctness of RESTful services, tested various methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE), and also tested authorization and header transmission.

For automating requests, I created collections with a set of requests and used the built-in Runner for sequential test execution. I also wrote scripts in JavaScript in the Tests section to verify responses, such as checking the status code or the presence of required fields in JSON.

An example of a simple test in Postman:

pm.test("Response status 200", function () {
    pm.response.to.have.status(200);
});

This approach helps quickly identify errors and regressions in the API, as well as integrate tests into CI/CD processes.
