Postman API testing course in Spanish: review

Our analysis

API Testing con POSTMAN is a solid Spanish-language option for learning to test and automate REST APIs with one of the most widely used tools for the job. We would recommend it to testers and developers who want to move from sending requests by hand to having collections with tests, automated runs and pipeline integration.

Who it is for

• Testers getting started with API testing.
• Backend or frontend developers who use Postman at a basic level and want more out of it.
• Teams that need to run API tests inside Jenkins or Azure DevOps.

What it covers

• Installation, workspaces, collections and variables.
• Building requests against REST APIs.
• Tests with snippets and advanced assertions.
• Automated runs with the collection runner and with monitors.
• Newman for running collections from the command line.
• Integrating the tests into Jenkins and Azure DevOps.

What to keep in mind

• The course is taught in Spanish.
• It helps to understand HTTP, its methods and status codes beforehand. Postman tests are written in JavaScript, so some knowledge of the language will help with the more complex assertions.
• Postman changes its interface and plans often, and some features, such as monitors, may be limited depending on your plan.
• According to the description, the focus is on functional testing. It does not mention load testing, security testing or code-based frameworks such as Rest Assured.

Where it fits in a path

Before this course, it helps to understand how a frontend talks to a backend; the "Web developer roadmap" gives you that context. Afterwards you can add UI automation with Cypress or Selenium, or move your collections into a continuous integration pipeline so they run on every deployment. If your work involves connecting APIs between tools, our guide "How to learn n8n" is a good complement, because you will use the same concepts of requests, headers and authentication, this time to automate processes instead of testing them.
