How and Where to start learning API Testing and Postman??

Hello Guys!!

Hope you are doing well. I am getting this question frequently and I thought of summing up the points which will help out the Test Engineers who are aspiring to start their career/to add API Testing skillset to their bucket.

You are already into Testing for few years, and wondering what’s this API and API Testing all about?

Are you really bored of the current Testing routines?

Are you thinking of something to learn and upskill yourself this year?

Am I the only one still not sure what API’s are?

Is it too technical to learn API Testing?

What this tool Postman is all about?

What programming knowledge is required for learning Postman?

What’s this “Postman Student Expert” program? How are they getting badges? ahh, you might have seen people posting over LinkedIn..

I get that, so many questions like this keeps on popping-up!! So I will try to provide a clear picture through this post, though you can always reach out to me if you need any help on this.

May be, I can give them as steps, which will help you learn much easier.
