Postman Newman Tutorial

Postman provides the capability to run Postman Collections through the command line tool called Newman. In this post, we will do a quick tutorial on the Postman Newman tool.

Newman is a command-line Collection Runner for Postman. With Postman, you can run collections in two ways –

• With the Postman Collection Runner
• With the Newman tool

With Newman, it allows you to run and test a Postman Collection directly from the command line.

Since you can run the collections via the command line, you can also easily integrate it with your continuous integration servers and build systems like Jenkins, TravisCI, etc…

newman run tests\Trello.postman_collection.json -e tests\Production.postman_environment.json
