Sharing My Postman API Testing Success Story to Inspire Others

I want to share this with the hope that it may inspire others to begin their journey into the world of API testing with Postman. If you want to start your journey in Postman API testing and have a lot of doubts about where to begin, I hope my success story will guide and inspire you.

I’ll take you through my learning path: the challenges I faced, how I overcame them by using effective resources such as a step-by-step tutorial on API testing using Postman, and access to a number of free APIs to test in Postman.

Today, I am very confident in using Postman for testing and automation, and further would like to share all the tips and lessons that helped me on my way.

Why I Chose to Learn Postman API Testing

As a QA, I realized very fast that knowing Postman API Testing was not an option — it was a must-have. APIs are at the heart of all modern software systems, and testing them guarantees that programs function as intended.

Initially, I worked through manual testing techniques that were time-consuming and error-prone. I knew I needed a solution like Postman to make testing faster, more efficient, and more dependable.

But it wasn’t easy starting out; a little guidance and a flood of online resources often left me feeling lost. Many tutorials were either too complex or lacked real-world relevance. It was then that I found an excellent tutorial on using Postman for API testing that completely changed my approach.

It took very complicated Postman API Testing basics and broke them down into easy-to-digest steps and gradually went ahead to complex ideas.

How I Started: Using Postman Tutorial for Beginners

To every beginner, I recommend one thing — start with the postman tutorial for API testing for beginners. This is an excellent place for getting a sense of how one can go about doing everything from basic things:

Setting up Postman and starting with API requests.

Familiarity with different HTTP methods such as GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE.

Using Postman collections to manage your tests.

Among the very first things I learned was how to use free APIs for testing in Postman, where I could practice right away and without the need for any live projects. These APIs imitate real-life cases, which are just what one needs when beginning to work with API testing.

Examples of such APIs include open APIs for weather, false online businesses, and even imitation JSON data providers. These materials provided me the courage to explore without fear of damaging anything.

Overcoming Challenges: Learning Automation and Scripting

After becoming familiar with the fundamentals, I wanted to delve deeper into automation. I found that manual testing alone was insufficient for larger projects. That’s when I discovered an API testing Postman tutorial that focuses on automation. Here is what I learned:

Writing JavaScript programs to verify API answers.

Automate repeating tests with Postman’s capability.

Creation of environments and variables for the testing of APIs in various configurations.

It sounded overwhelming in theory, but the topics proved to be within the manageable learning curve by further decomposing them into subtopics. The tutorials that I followed included hands-on examples for each one of these topics. That helped me practice how to apply these techniques in a real project.

My Aha Moment: Putting to Practice What I Learned

The turning point in my journey occurred when I applied the knowledge I had gained to actual applications. Using the concepts I learned from a postman tutorial for API testing, I was able to:

Test live e-commerce platform REST APIs.

Automate repetitive test cases, saving hours manually.

Set up dynamic environments for staging, development, and production.

However, the most satisfying aspect was learning how to work with a free API for Postman testing, which made it relatively easy to practice and refine my skills. For example, I used public APIs to test workflows like user authentication, product search, and order placement.

Tips for a Beginner to Get Started with API Testing Using Postman

Here are some tips that worked really well for me when I took a dive to get started with Postman API testing:

Take a Good Beginning

Look out for a pretty beginner-friendly tutorial on Postman. This should have all the basics in as straightforward and simple a manner as possible. Examples with step-by-step explanations would be very impressive.

Free APIs for Practice

One of the best methods to boost confidence is to use a free API for Postman testing. Some excellent solutions are OpenWeatherMap, JSONPlaceholder, and TheCatAPI.

Learn the Fundamentals First

Before getting into automation, learn how to send requests, use various HTTP methods, and validate results.

Key Lessons I Learned Along the Way

Here are some of the main lessons that helped me a lot when learning:

Consistency is key: Even 30 minutes of Postman practice each day may bring about significant development.

Break down problems: If something appears too complicated, divide it into smaller, more manageable stages. For example, begin with basic GET queries before progressing to more sophisticated procedures.

Not skipping automation: Once you’ve mastered the fundamentals, move on to automation with Postman’s excellent API testing guide. Automation not only saves time, but it also ensures that tests are consistent.

Why I Recommend Postman for API Testing

If someone is interested in software testing or development, this can truly transform their experience. Here’s why:

It is both beginner-friendly and powerful enough for advanced testing.

You can practice using a free API for testing in Postman without any restrictions.

Learning was smooth, including with the community and other resources, such as the API testing tutorial for Postman.

Following the right resources and practicing regularly turned all struggles into a success story. Now, I proudly manage large projects that include API testing, and Postman is a key component of my work toolkit.

Final Words: Your Journey to Success

If I could give you one bit of advice, it would be: don’t be frightened to start. Everyone starts somewhere, and with the correct tools and resources, you’ll be surprised at how quickly you can learn Postman API Testing. Whether you’re working through a Postman lesson for beginners or digging into automation with a postman tutorial for API testing, each step gets you closer to your objective.

Remember that the learning process isn’t about perfection. Use free APIs for testing with Postman, practice often, and keep researching. I hope that my tale motivates you to take the first step toward mastering Postman API testing and achieving your career objectives.

Hello! First off, let me just say that I live for KF and am so thankful for you all. With that being said, is it alright to ask about the structure of your studio? Who are the lovely folks that are giving us all this content?

oh, sure. most of our team is actually composed of freelancers, all of which we consider an integral part of. well. production, lmao. we have a lot of artists on board that you'll get to see in the credits of our extended demo. a new ui artist. tsy, of course. all of our voice actors, who've now been announced. three programmers, one writer and a metric ton of qa testers. our number one music guy.

i hesitate to say core team because, for as long as everyone's working on it i think of us as a complete team, but the leadership falls under myself as a writing/narrative director, our editor floss and, last but not least, marina. the idea for keyframes started with marina and our team's since grown out to what it is now, haha. i and floss spend a lot of our time writing and editing the script while marina frontloads much of the programming and directs the vision for the project.

Violent “I’ve had enough” vent under the cut because I feel like an absolute crap today and after getting a denial letter from a non-profit that could sponsor my attendance at GDC in the US I just feel like pitying myself for a moment.

I have been in game dev since I’ve been 20. I’ve started as a QA, thinking it’s gonna be just for a moment, but it wasn’t. I’m still a fucking QA.

I worked on big projects, and I love, love working on aaa titles. I do. I love this industry with my whole heart, and I feel I have more to offer than it wants to take from me, and it’s just awful. I work on an indie project on the side, but my “big fish” work takes most of my time. I stay overtime out of my free will. I did weekends and nights in my previous company out of my own free will. I have no respect for my personal time, because I love this shit so much. But it’s not enough, it��s never enough, and it’s not “babies first encounter with capitalism” either, because I know how it works, I have been mobbed, I have been laid off. And yet I keep coming back.

QA gets paid the least. You do the job of a tester, personal helper to the team you’re assigned to, pre-reviewer, even some minor production work, but you get paid the least, and you are always get looked down upon, because it’s “just” qa, the lowest of the low entry points to game dev. I’m highly specialized. I do one field, or should do one field only, which is character art, but because there’s a shit ton of work and not enough people experienced enough (? Where did the entry point job go, huh?) I do narrative now as well. And VFX quality while I’m at it. And rigging, too. And I don’t mind. I love it.

I do mind though I cannot develop where I would like to. I cannot do art, I cannot do anything creative, I’m just stuck looking at other peoples work. I work on my own project after work, some people from work help me, too, after work, but it’s not much, I know it won’t change anything.

There are programs to help. Of course they are. One is for girls in highschool, so a decade younger than me, and when I was their age, it didn’t exist. As a QA I have no chance of speaking on events; nobody cares what I have to say, and I don’t feel like an authority with something worthy to say in the qa department. I do my job and I do it good, but I couldn’t give less of a fuck about it.

And nobody would listen to a stupid QA speaking on art or character building. I have no authority there either, and absolutely zero credentials.

It feels like a fucking inescapable limbo. I don’t get grants or outside help, because I put my all into my day qa job and I barely have time to work on creative projects, additionally I’m bound by depression and audhd so bad that I just dissociate and stop existing for stretches of time. I live in a small town, with no car, so getting to some drawing lessons in the bigger city is barely possible, especially that they cut off public transport.

I feel like my art sucks. It’s on lower level than it should be by now. I feel like I’m too old for the industry already, I have no chances of changing anything, and I’m left to fend for myself by the only non-profits that could help.

The luckiest thing in my life right now is that my company kept me for a year now and is not planning layoffs anytime soon. But that’s it.

It’s awful. I feel like shit, I just wanna do more, but I’m never given a chance to. It’s demotivating, I’m from a shit country with bad art schools, bad perspectives, and no help. I’m completely invisible to everybody.

I don’t have great thoughts right now.

It says failed game dev in your bio what game(s) were you working on? We're there any stories you wanted to tell?

Not all that much of a story to tell, but here's the gist:

I made a few student games with my twin in highschool (even took one to a trade skills competition, we got 7th place in nationals), went to college to pursue game development as a career, learned the hard way that I wasn't cut out for it (acquired hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt and a bunch of stress/overwork-related health complications for my troubles), flunked out in my second year, and haven't made a game since (closest I've come has been almost getting a job as a QA tester for Nintendo of America, brainstorming a handful of game ideas, and helping my twin squash bugs in his own projects sometimes).

As for the specifics, I've only worked on 3 games I'm even somewhat proud of: Run&Gun, Paint the Town, and Custom Fighter. All three were made in highschool, using a proprietary game engine made by the same school my twin and I later flunked out of. As a general rule, my twin handled the art and design, and I handled the programming, but there was some overlap where we dipped our toes into eachother's jobs.

Infodump beyond the readmore:

Run&Gun was a combination First-Person Shooter and Racing Game, with some gravity-bending mechanics, as a treat. In it, you raced on a massive, twisting track against a handful of computer players while shooting them with your trusty SMG, and trying not to get shot yourself. The player could stick to walls, treating everything they raced along as the ground, which let us get a little silly with the track's layout. There was also a really cool section near the end that featured a halfpipe (or maybe more like a three-quarters-pipe) that ended in a ramp and a huge jump, which, due to the nature of the wall-sticking mechanic, had you falling forwards moreso than down for about half of it. It was probably the only bit of spectacle that actually hit the mark.

The game had a lot of neat ideas, but ultimately failed in execution for a number of reasons, not the least of which being that it served as many firsts: our first 3D game, our first first-person game, our first game with computer players, our first racing game, our first game with dynamic physics, our first game we worked on for longer than a month, etc. I actually ended up reinventing several wheels while working on this game, since I didn't know what to look for as far as guidance at the time: linked lists, aim-assist, behavior trees, and some really crude vector math being chief among them. On one hand, I really didn't need to do all that, because the tech already existed (and is downright ubiquitous in the industry), but on the other hand, I felt smart as hell when I made it work, and super vindicated when I learned that people smarter than me had been doing the same shit for decades.

Paint the Town was a 2D Action Platformer which took heavy aesthetic inspiration from Splatoon (or, what little of Splatoon we'd seen over the shoulder of a Wii-U-owning friend of ours, anyways). There was only one level, which also served as a tutorial, and it ended on a bit of a cliffhanger, but with such a limited scope, we managed to squeeze out a solid experience. You played as Fuschia (spelled that way because we thought the real spelling of the word was dumb), an excitable teen who wanted to take back her city from the evil... Blobbers? Bloobies? I don't remember what we called 'em, they were an invading force of aliens that kinda just looked like the slimes from Dragon Quest. Anyways, they were painting everything blue, which made everyone there feel blue, so our hero took it upon herself to paint the town a fresh new hue (fuchsia, obviously).

It was a fairly linear experience, with no special movement mechanics or anything: just a short gauntlet of guys to take down as you hopped across rooftops and construction sites, picking up the occasional extra weapon here and there for variety. The three things I'm most proud of are the relative variety of unique enemies and weapons (patrolling guys, turret guys, helicopter guys, and even a bomb-throwing boss guy, as well as four different weapons with unique shot patterns), the visual effects (the city was a fairly-blank canvas, and you and the enemies would paint over it as you fought), and a handy little tool we lovingly called the ~Vector Trajector Projector~, which acted as a reticle to show the path your shots would go (discounting any spread) while you aimed. It was really just an extremely basic projectile simulation equation, but dammit, I was proud! For a project that only took a couple months to make, it was pretty solid, in my opinion.

Custom Fighter was the last of our highschool games, and the one we took to that national trade skills competition. Well, technically we took all three of them to the competition, but Run&Gun only took us as far as state the year prior, and we pivoted from Paint the Town to Custom Fighter between regionals and state of that final year. Anyways, it was a 3D Dueling Game featuring giant robots that could be decorated and customized in a pre-match menu. The only mechanical effects your customization would have was the robot's physical size (for hit/hurtboxes and so on) and its Weight, which depended on its size and determined its speed, knockback, and to a lesser extent, damage, so the rest was just for fun. Every robot had the same moveset: just a punch, an uppercut, a power-punch, a roundhouse kick, a missile barrage, and a meter-draining super move (a weird timestopping dropkick thing that we couldnt animate in time, and thus really just looked like you stopped time and flew face-first at the other guy in midair).

There were a whole lot of little things I was proud of in this game: dynamic knockback animations, light trails and other such visual effects, my largest attempt at menu/UI design to date (for the customization screen), a really satisfying application of calculus to make the dropkick hit the mark every time, and the fact that I managed to fix every last crash bug the night before the competition's showcase.

But my greatest accomplishment wasn't even technically something I did; rather, it was something I couldn't do.

The time-stopping dropkick had a funny bug that seemingly-randomly caused the player who got hit with it to get flung out of the arena at truly ludicrous speeds, instead of the intended knockback velocity of the attack. The night before the competition, I discovered that it was because the players would sometimes collide physically after the attack's hitbox reached the target's hurtbox (which applied the inteneded knockback), but before time would resume its usual flow. Because the attacking player would be going incredibly fast in-simulation (despite going at a pretty moderate pace as far as any viewers were concerned), they would impart an incredible amount of momentum to the other player, which, once time resumed its normal rate, translated to getting launched offscreen faster than you could blink. I couldn't come up with a way to fix the bug entirely in time for the competition, but I did manage to come up with a band-aid patch that made it a lot less likely.

A month or so earlier, in that same year, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild came out, and unbeknownst to me at the time, it featured the same exact bug. I only discovered it thanks to the Something About video, which came out a couple years later, but if you've ever seen a speedrunner do a shield surf jump toward an enemy's head, pull out a bow to enter arrow-time, and bounce off to launch way up into the sky, that's exactly the same mechanics at play. The enemy's animation when they get bounced on has their head snap into a different position to start, which, while in arrow-time, translates to an absurd amount of movement over extremely little time. Landing on something while shield-surfing usually only applies a certain amount of bounce to the player, but if the player and the enemy are in just the right positions relative to eachother, they collide physically after the initial hit, and the player gets flung hilariously far away.

So what was once a bug that bested me, the bane of my existence, had become something that hundreds and hundreds of smarter people had tried to fix too, each as unsuccessful as the last. I couldn't fix that bug, but neither could the entire team behind one of the biggest and best games to date.

It was extremely vindicating.

Game Software Development: From Concept to Code

Game software development is an intricate process that combines creativity, technical skill, and strategic planning to bring engaging virtual worlds to life. From the initial concept to the final lines of code, every step requires meticulous attention to detail. Whether you're an indie developer or part of a large studio, understanding the game software development process is crucial to creating a successful game. Let’s explore the journey from concept to code and the key steps involved in game software development.

1. Conceptualization and Planning

The journey of game software development begins with a concept. This is where the initial idea is born, often inspired by personal experiences, popular genres, or unique storytelling angles. During this stage, developers outline the core mechanics, gameplay elements, and overall theme of the game. A Game Design Document (GDD) is usually created, serving as the blueprint for the entire project. This document details the gameplay, characters, story, and technical requirements, ensuring that everyone on the team is aligned.

2. Designing the Game

Design is a critical phase in game software development where the concept starts taking shape visually. This stage involves creating sketches, storyboards, and prototypes to visualize the game's environment, characters, and user interface. Tools like Unity, Unreal Engine, and Godot are popular for building game prototypes that help developers test ideas quickly. Level design is also crucial, defining how the player will interact with the game world, navigate challenges, and experience the storyline.

3. Development and Coding

Once the design is finalized, the game moves into the development phase, where coding takes center stage. Developers use programming languages like C++, C#, or Python to build the game’s mechanics, controls, and AI behaviors. Game engines like Unity and Unreal Engine provide a solid framework, offering pre-built assets, physics, and lighting to streamline the coding process. Collaboration between developers, artists, and sound designers is key to integrating visuals, audio, and gameplay seamlessly.

4. Testing and Debugging

Testing is an ongoing process throughout game software development but becomes particularly intense as the game nears completion. Quality Assurance (QA) testers play through the game to identify bugs, glitches, and gameplay issues. Debugging involves refining the code to ensure the game runs smoothly and provides an enjoyable player experience. This phase is crucial for fixing performance issues, balancing gameplay, and polishing the final product.

5. Launch and Post-Release Support

After testing, the game is finally ready for launch. Developers release the game on chosen platforms, whether it’s PC, console, or mobile. However, the journey doesn’t end there—post-release support is essential for addressing player feedback, releasing updates, and fixing any remaining bugs.

Conclusion

Game software development is a complex but rewarding process that turns creative visions into interactive experiences. By following these stages, from initial concept to final code, developers can bring their ideas to life and create games that captivate players worldwide.

In retrospective, the shift whose culmination we see today seems to be about making hardware more uniform and the system infrastructure less opaque to anyone who isn't a developer.

Looking back as a millennial, I feel like the Gen-X are the most literate computer-wise because they dealt with all the weird pre-Windows systems and physical LAN party setups before the Internet at homes became fast enough to hold online gaming. Still, it's strange to read posts like this as a Millennial who was taught to use a PC in primary school because it was a new thing for the entire generation, and then I had to pass this knowledge on to teach my own parents to send an email and not to panic whenever "my window disappeared".

What I see in my boomer parents is a sort of a mental blockade from engaging with a typical window-based UI, like every time you could literally read something on the menu and click accordingly to perform an unknown activity, my mum has a little meltdown and wants to be taught the activity step by step so she can perform it by muscle memory. The greatest peril of my mum's boomer PC experience is that she doesn't watch what's going on on her screen outside the application in focus, she is not used to interactivity on a basic level, a robust system UI is too much for her because you need to learn to "dwell" in a structure of a certain complexity, you need to get used to the thought that a PC has a massive hidden side among all the nested folders, settings and policies. I think my dad has less problems with using a PC because he had vocational technical education before, he understands mechanical schematics and electrical installation charts and abstract structures of that sort. A classic menu is a little like this.

As a kid, I was taught basics of the structure of a pre-XP Windows system. I was taught a common technique to type using as many fingers as possible, without looking at the keyboard as you do it. I was taught how to use the Office suite, how to build a simple website using the ugliest incarnation of HTML, and how to push it to the teacher's host using a FTP manager. I was even taught basics of programming in one of the code-free visual gamified editors made solely for teaching purposes. All of it to familiarize us with a certain innate logic of software that was norm at the time.

Even as an IT worker nowadays, accessing most things I need on mobile devices as a QA tester is locked behind a hidden procedure of enabling Developer tools, and even then, if you look at the folder structure on the device when accessing it from your PC, the said structure is more code-like and obviously not meant for any end user. Or, I need to use workarounds through third party applications like iTunes to even access some stuff in the first place. iOS is a true nightmare when it comes to trying access the things Apple does not want an average end user to access.

What mostly changed since my childhood is that hardware is becoming uniform to the point building your own PC and setting it up to work is easy and foolproof, and Windows is trying to be quicker in providing some template behaviors and more "transparent" in its inner workings. The mobile device design simplified user experience to the levels of "Go to store, download app, tap and swipe, the system takes care of everything else". At the same time, the systems are more intrusive, and they heavily discourage messing around and finding out. Everything is meant to be done from the status bar, or a popup that appears right at your main screen.

Teaching my parents smartphones was a different experience insofar as notifications and popups from Android keep appearing without their consent, so to speak. They feel like they have no agency over their own phone, all they want is to make a call, the entire device with its apps and ads and intrusive messages is the enemy, and "they don't want IT" (where "IT" is an SMS from the provider, a system update notification, a push notification, information about used data, there's too many icons again, there's too much everything, yada yada). Once they learned the basics of using a laptop to click things on an Internet browser, phones started to be the opposite thing.

So this was originally a response to this post:

****

Which is about people wanting an AO3 app, but then it became large and way off topic, so here you go.

Nobody under the age of 20 knows how to use a computer or the internet. At all. They only know how to use apps. Their whole lives are in their phones or *maybe* a tablet/iPad if they're an artist. This is becoming a huge concern.

I'm a private tutor for middle- and high-school students, and since 2020 my business has been 100% virtual. Either the student's on a tablet, which comes with its own series of problems for screen-sharing and file access, or they're on mom's or dad's computer, and they have zero understanding of it.

They also don't know what the internet is, or even the absolute basics of how it works. You might not think that's an important thing to know, but stick with me.

Last week I accepted a new student. The first session is always about the tech -- I tell them this in advance, that they'll have to set up a few things, but once we're set up, we'll be good to go. They all say the same thing -- it won't be a problem because they're so "online" that they get technology easily.

I never laugh in their faces, but it's always a close thing. Because they are expecting an app. They are not expecting to be shown how little they actually know about tech.

I must say up front: this story is not an outlier. This is *every* student during their first session with me. Every single one. I go through this with each of them because most of them learn more, and more solidly, via discussion and discovery rather than direct instruction.

Once she logged in, I asked her to click on the icon for screen-sharing. I described the icon, then started with "Okay, move your mouse to the bottom right corner of the screen." She did the thing that those of us who are old enough to remember the beginnings of widespread home computers remember - picked up the mouse and moved it and then put it down. I explained she had to pull the mouse along the surface, and then click on the icon. She found this cumbersome. I asked if she was on a laptop or desktop computer. She didn't know what I meant. I asked if the computer screen was connected to the keyboard as one piece of machinery that you can open and close, or if there was a monitor - like a TV - and the keyboard was connected to another machine either by cord or by Bluetooth. Once we figured it out was a laptop, I asked her if she could use the touchpad, because it's similar (though not equivalent) to a phone screen in terms of touching clicking and dragging.

Once we got her using the touchpad, we tried screen-sharing again. We got it working, to an extent, but she was having trouble with... lots of things. I asked if she could email me a download or a photo of her homework instead, and we could both have a copy, and talk through it rather than put it on the screen, and we'd worry about learning more tech another day. She said she tried, but her email blocked her from sending anything to me.

This is because the only email address she has is for school, and she never uses email for any other purpose. I asked if her mom or dad could email it to me. They weren't home.

(Re: school email that blocks any emails not whitelisted by the school: that's great for kids as are all parental controls for young ones, but 16-year-olds really should be getting used to using an email that belongs to them, not an institution.)

I asked if the homework was on a paper handout, or in a book, or on the computer. She said it was on the computer. Great! I asked her where it was saved. She didn't know. I asked her to search for the name of the file. She said she already did that and now it was on her screen. Then, she said to me: "You can just search for it yourself - it's Chapter 5, page 11."

This is because homework is on the school's website, in her math class's homework section, which is where she searched. For her, that was "searching the internet."

Her concepts of "on my computer" "on the internet" or "on my school's website" are all the same thing. If something is displayed on the monitor, it's "on the internet" and "on my phone/tablet/computer" and "on the school's website."

She doesn't understand "upload" or "download," because she does her homework on the school's website and hits a "submit" button when she's done. I asked her how she shares photos and stuff with friends; she said she posts to Snapchat or TikTok, or she AirDrops. (She said she sometimes uses Insta, though she said Insta is more "for old people"). So in her world, there's a button for "post" or "share," and that's how you put things on "the internet".

She doesn't know how it works. None of it. And she doesn't know how to use it, either.

Also, none of them can type. Not a one. They don't want to learn how, because "everything is on my phone."

And you know, maybe that's where we're headed. Maybe one day, everything will be on "my phone" and computers as we know them will be a thing of the past. But for the time being, they're not. Students need to learn how to use computers. They need to learn how to type. No one is telling them this, because people think teenagers are "digital natives." And to an extent, they are, but the definition of that has changed radically in the last 20-30 years. Today it means "everything is on my phone."

Maybe some sort of if then statement?

If even return true If odd return false

I don't know what it would be written as in python though. I'm a QA tester, my job is to break the program 😅

So python is apparently unable to handle if-statement with more than 2996 elif’s, which is fair, however, it’s really limiting my implentation of an is_even function

Any ideas on how I can work around this?
