What software do you use to automate backend testing scenarios?
Asked by

As a backend developer, I often find myself repeating the same testing scenarios over and over. I'm currently using Postman for this purpose, but I'm curious if there are better alternatives out there. What tools do you all recommend for automating these backend scenarios?

Instead of doing everything from scratch each day, try saving your scenarios in Postman. It can save you time if you're not already doing that. But I totally get wanting to explore new options, too!

I use Newman to run my API tests as part of a Jenkins job. It allows me to automate tests daily, which can save you a lot of manual work. You might find it useful if you need reliable automation.

If you're into automation, Postman has some built-in features that might help, but if you want something more focused on UI interactions, Playwright could be a good next step.
