Answer from AI

Postman is advisable to use for automating API testing in the following cases:

  • When you need to quickly create and execute API requests without writing code.
  • For creating request collections with parameters and testing scenarios.
  • When automatic test execution with response verification (assertions) is required.
  • For integration with CI/CD processes via Newman — Postman's CLI tool.
  • When visualization and documentation of the API are needed.

For example, you can create a collection of requests to check all API endpoints and run it automatically after each deployment to ensure the service works correctly.
