11.4. Writing Basic Assertions in Postman (Test Tab)

Try these first

1. 1.

   What function do you use to check if the status code is 200 in Postman?

   Hint

   The function is used to check HTTP response codes.

2. 2.

   What data format is typically checked in API responses?

   Hint

   Think about what data structure uses key-value pairs.

3. 3.

   What is the purpose of assertions in Postman?

   • To check if the API exists
   • To verify API responses
   • To send requests

   Hint

   Consider why testing is done in APIs.

4. 4.

   True or False: You cannot use JavaScript code in the Tests tab of Postman.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Remember the programming you can do in Postman.

5. 5.

   You are creating an API test to validate different responses based on user roles. Write two assertions for user roles - 'admin' and 'user'.

   Hint

   Focus on how admin responses differ from user responses in your tests.

6. 6.

   A segment of your response should return an object with nested fields. Write an assertion to check for a nested field.

   Hint

   Remember how to access complex JSON structures.
