Overall Satisfaction with Postman
Postman is our go-to Application for testing all our Rest APIs. It's very userfriendly and has most of the features we look for as devs in testing our APIs. It is also the only testing application we were introduced to even in our Bootcamp as newly hired Associate Software Engineers the last year and no doubt of its capabilities as the whole organization is using it.
- Send Rest Request easily.
- Modify different types of parameters with ease.
- I hope they could develop a trace log like that of Apigee Edge where I could visually see what happened as the request gets processed.
- Add the auto Beatify or AutoCorrect formats of JSON texts.
- We use the free tier of Postman, for development purposes, the free tier does a lot alright. The only difference I think between the free and paid version is that the paid version allows for collaborative work with APIs, changes on one API by a developer will be reflected on others. And since we don't use that feature, we are okay on a free tier and hence its great tool since it is free and is of great use.
Although Apigee Edge platforms Trace UI does the same job as Postman. Postman is the most advanced of the two. Browser extensions I know of that does the same thing as Postman are too bad of apps to use even to have a mention here. Either they are limited in features or the user interface is very hard to use.
