Headers, Query Parameters vs Path Variables, Request Payloads (JSON, Form-Data)
Practical Lab: Inspect and analyze real RESTful microservice API contracts using Swagger/OpenAPI documentation.
MODULE 02
Postman Workspaces, Collections & Variable Scopes
5 Hours
Postman GUI navigation, Team Workspaces, and Collection structuring
Variable Scoping Hierarchy: Global vs Environment vs Collection vs Data vs Local
Dynamic Built-in Variables: {{$guid}}, {{$timestamp}}, {{$randomFirstName}}, {{$randomEmail}}
Environment configuration for DEV, QA, STAGING, and PRODUCTION endpoints
Practical Lab: Build an environment-parameterized collection that can run against DEV or STAGING with a single dropdown switch.
MODULE 03
Automated Test Scripting with JavaScript & Chai Assertions
6 Hours
Pre-request Scripting: Generating timestamps, hashing payloads, setting dynamic headers
Writing tests with pm.test() and Chai assertion library (pm.expect)
Validating response status codes, headers, and response times (< 500ms)
JSON Schema Validation using tv4 / Ajv library to prevent breaking contract changes
Practical Lab: Author strict contract test scripts that validate nested JSON data types, required fields, and array structures.
MODULE 04
Dynamic Request Chaining & Workflow Control
5 Hours
Extracting IDs, tokens, and data from responses and passing them to subsequent requests
Controlling execution flow using postman.setNextRequest() for branching and loops
Implementing polling loops: Waiting for async backend jobs to transition from 'PENDING' to 'COMPLETED'
Clean teardown requests: Ensuring created test records are deleted after execution
Practical Lab: Automate an end-to-end e-commerce order workflow: Register User → Authenticate → Add Item to Cart → Process Payment → Verify Order.
MODULE 05
Data-Driven Testing with Postman Runner (CSV & JSON)
5 Hours
Structuring test data files in CSV and JSON formats
Accessing iteration data via pm.iterationData.get()
Executing hundreds of positive and negative boundary test cases automatically
Analyzing Collection Runner execution summaries and export logs

MODULE 06
Authentication & Authorization in Enterprise APIs
5 Hours
API Keys, Basic Authentication, and Digest Authentication
Bearer Token & JWT (JSON Web Tokens): Decoding claims, expiry checking in pre-request script
OAuth 2.0 Flows: Authorization Code, Client Credentials, Refresh Token grant types
Handling Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Testing 403 Forbidden scenarios for non-admin tokens
Practical Lab: Implement an auto-refreshing OAuth 2.0 pre-request script that automatically fetches new tokens when expired.

4 Hours
Creating Mock Servers to unblock frontend teams before backend APIs are developed
Adding realistic response examples with customized headers and delay simulations
Generating and publishing live interactive API documentation
Postman Monitors: Scheduled hourly health checks with Slack/Email webhooks
