Workshop: How to Create a Test Data-Driven Framework with Postman
summary
Shows how to build a data-driven API test framework using Postman collections and a CSV/Excel file: create environment variables, write JavaScript tests with pm.* and Chai to parse JSON responses, extract/store tokens, and validate that each response’s city/state match expected values. Demonstrates running the collection runner with CSV/Excel-driven iterations, saving responses, exporting collection and environment, and running tests headless with Newman to see pass/fail per iteration.
