Automated testing optimizes API workflow and collaboration
Since I am using the free tier, one improvement would be to increase the number of requests you can send in a short time period. Currently, if I send 200-300 requests in a short period, Postman Enterprise requires a 30-second wait before sending another bundle of requests unless you upgrade to a higher tier. Secondly, Postman Enterprise sometimes takes several minutes to load the whole workspace. With 2,000-3,000 requests in a workspace, it can take a minute or two to load all requests. When creating a new workspace and moving requests between workspaces, depending on internet speed, it can take a longer period to copy those requests or workspace from one place to another.

Enables us to monitor API endpoints to ensure everything is running
I've noticed, once or twice, when there were some updates pushed by Runscope, at times it didn't refresh the pages. I was running it, there were multiple tests running at the same time, and it didn't update the webpage I was looking at. So I had to refresh it manually. Occasionally, it still happens. Another thing I have found is that the built-in editor for the scripts can be improved a lot. Instead of making such a basic editor, maybe include a little more so it is easier to look at things and debug. Finally, other than the Runscope documentation, I haven't seen too much elsewhere. I haven't seen a user community.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"In Postman, we have an option to directly import a call, make it a Postman collection, and execute it in a batch. This feature is very useful. It saves a lot of time. The manual effort is also reduced when we can just pick it in a Postman collection and then run and execute it to get the results."
"The solution collects scenarios and allows for testing SOAP API, REST API and API automation at the same time."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Postman is open-source and free to use."
"We can also submit requests multiple times and it allows us to capture the response each time by using utility scripts."
"It is easy and simple to use and install. It is compatible with Linux, Mac or Windows."
"Postman is useful for API testing."
"The data you are sending and fetching from that endpoint is very clean and understandable; anyone can understand it."
"As we have the APIs scheduled, we use the notifications. We know the exact moment it is breaking something that might impact the customer system, that might result in a feature not working. We know "in advance" and we can fix it before the customer notices. It helps us to be more proactive."
"When it's a problem on our side, the server is down, or there is a lack of memory, the first thing to break is the API, because the calls can't be processed. So we know exactly at that moment because we receive notifications, and we can take action. It doesn't only notify us of the type problem, but it also links it to our servers."
"We have the ability to populate environment variables using scripts. This allows us to keep the configuration mostly dynamic and avoid a lot of manual updates when something changes."
"Valuable features include: Being able to add tests as sub-tests in a parent test for regression testing; notifications for tests that pass/fail; being able to customize expected results with assertions; being able to set tests to run daily."
"This solution has improved our responsiveness to issues in both production and non-production environments. Through integration with Slack, our development and DevOps teams are quickly aware of issues related to new changes deployed to non-production environments, which tightens our feedback loop during testing. Through integration with PagerDuty, our DevOps resources are able to reduce the adverse impact of a given production issue."
"We love the fact that we can have our API tests run on a schedule as often as we need. We also take advantage of being able to set up different environment settings so that we can use the same test in our production, integration, and QA environments, easily. The ability to string together a number of API tests for a test suite is very important to us as well."
"The feature of automatically executing tests at a predefined time interval is great as we can be continuously testing our end-points before and after builds are deployed."
"We utilize modular tests based on environment variables. These have saved QA a lot of time when setting up our back-end automation."
 

Cons

"Could be more user friendly."
"I have display issues in my Windows that need to be fixed."
"We cannot see transaction times in the product."
"The solution can be improved by providing detailed error logs including the line the error took place to make it easier to correct."
"One area that could be better is collection management."
"One of the primary challenges with Postman is handling authentication issues, especially relating to tokens and passwords."
"I would like to see more integrations with other platforms."
"The performance needs to be improved."
"File upload is a big part of the products that we test. The lack of file upload in Runscope requires us to still use UI (Selenium) automated tests for these scenarios."
"If you forget to set the default environment during test creation, you have to go through every test and make sure that it is set to the environment that you prefer if using shared environments. If there was an option to force all tests within a bucket into a specific environment with one click, this would save a lot of time."
"I've noticed, once or twice, when there were some updates pushed by Runscope, at times it didn't refresh the pages. I was running it, there were multiple tests running at the same time, and it didn't update the webpage I was looking at. So I had to refresh it manually. Occasionally, it still happens."
"Currently, we can only schedule to the nearest five minutes, one hour, two hours, etc. If we could set up the exact time that we want it to run, that would be good because sometimes we have one service that crosses another service."
"the built-in editor for the scripts can be improved a lot. Instead of making such a basic editor, maybe include a little more so it is easier to look at things and debug."
"We would like to have an improved ability to share a set of tests across different environments (e.g., dev, stage, and prod)."
"Reliability. I would like to see more money invested in disaster recovery testing of the application. The product should be hosted across several AWS regions so if there are issues with an EC2 instance in a particular region, the whole application won't be affected. Once or twice a year there are issues with AWS that causes the reliability of the application to suffer."
"We definitely make use of historical test results, especially when tracking more difficult issues such as timeouts. Per our test frequency (15 minutes) we often need to go back further than the last 100 test runs. We are aware that results further back in time are available through the Runscope API, however, it would be great if the dashboard allowed easy access to a larger amount of historical data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's price is reasonable."
"We are using the free version that is available."
"I rate the product's price a nine or ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is very expensive. Postman is an expensive tool for Turkey."
"This solution offers a free version."
"I use the tool's free version."
"Postman is a free service."
"I am using the free option."
"I rate the price of Postman a four out of five."
"The price for the product is very reasonable for a team of more than four to five members."
"Runscope pricing is unbeatable"
"Having the different plans organized by team size, buckets, and requests per billing period works for our needs. Larger companies may need to take a close look at these elements."
"Pricing is fair."
