Basic Postman Example

Below is a simple workflow for executing a Postman collection stored on GitHub. You can paste this directly into the YAML of an existing or new test, just make sure to update the name and namespace for your environment as needed.

  • The spec.content property defines the path to the postman collection in a GitHub repository
  • the spec.steps property defines a single step that runs the collection with the newman Docker image
