Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Postman is used to verify and build API in our company. It's used in three departments- back-end, front-end and QA. Connecting server side back-end logic with front-end and vice versa. Currently, we are team of 8 developers (a mixture of above 3 departments) which are using Postman as our daily go-to API visualization tool.

Likelihood to Recommend

As a new[bie] to software engineering, specially back-end, I was [not] very [knowledgeable] about how API worked and how to integrate it. The first major blockage of my career was, "How does API work?" One of my colleague screen shared his PC, and let me go through how API works by demonstrating it on Postman. Since then, my life became much more easier.
