30 Days of API Testing Day 19: A useful API testing video

30 Days of API Testing Day 19 challenge is: Find and share a useful video about API testing

I am considering this is a useful video for those who are new to Postman as well as API testing, it has 5 parts which include sending a request, authorizing a request, writing a test, running a collection and chaining requests.

New to Postman? First 5 things to try

For me, the video I’ve chosen links well with the task from Day 2. It also was chosen for a similar reason to the blog post I chose for Day 6, I am a visual learner. This is a very tool focused video but it’s one I enjoyed.

In this video, @alan walks us through “Exploratory Testing of an HTTP REST API with Postman for Response Validation and BurpSuite proxy”. I found the video easy to follow and I liked how I could see all of the screens at the same time. It helped me to follow the video more easily as there weren’t windows popping up and down at various time points.
