Why I Never Trust 200 Alone: Smarter API Testing in 2025 🚦

A green 200 OK doesn’t always mean your API is healthy.

In my new guide, I show how Postman + Newman help me catch hidden failures, contract regressions, and flaky flows — all automated from local runs to CI.

Inside:
✅ How to structure collections & environments clearly
✅ Practical checks beyond status codes
✅ Data-driven tests with CSV/JSON
✅ CI integration that just works

👉 Read the full blueprint and make your API tests honest, repeatable, and useful in production.
