Hey there! I'm thrilled to share with you my first NPM package ever released, a tool that's been a game-changer in my QA journey. I called it postman-workspace-backup, and if you're someone who's all about optimizing workflows and making things smoother, this might just be the solution you've been looking for.
What is postman-workspace-backup?
postman-workspace-backup is designed to simplify the way we run Postman collections within a CI/CD pipeline because dealing with one big collection is a lot easier. It taps into the Postman API to seamlessly download collections and save them as JSON files. But what sets it apart is its ability to combine all these collections into one single collection, organized into multiple folders. This neat trick makes it a breeze to use with the Newman CLI tool and opens doors to generating and managing reports, not to mention smooth integration with any CI/CD pipeline.
Why Combine Collections?
Imagine having all your collections neatly organized into a single collection, divided into folders. This means you can run tests with the Newman CLI using just one command. No more juggling between different collections – everything's in one place. This makes generating reports a breeze, as Newman can work its magic on the consolidated collection. And when it comes to CI/CD integration, things get even more exciting. A single, organized collection means effortless integration and smoother automation.
