If you wanna get cookin' with Postman, I recommend this book big time. The author does a real good job explainin' things in a nice friendly way. He keeps it practical with lots of examples ya can code along with. I went from zero to API hero following the hands-on projects. It gets ya building real quick so you can start developing and testin' APIs like a pro. It's the bees knees!

I have been programming for 30 years, the last six of which were building mobile apps. When I switched to creating APIs, Postman became an essential tool, and this an essential guide to getting the most out of it.The writing is clear, the examples are useful and overall this book is an essential guide to testing and development. Highly recommended.

API testing with Postman will not only help you in understanding about APIS but also how to use different functionality of Postman. If you are new to Postman or even if you have used it before,this book will help you in learning new techniques about testing APIs using Postman. I am still reading and revising some concepts using the examples given in this book. Thank you!

I really enjoyed reading this well-structured book about REST Assured API Testing, A complete road map to REST API automation using Java and TestNG. It's a great toolbox for everyone who wants to start his test automation journey with API. Lots of interesting examples suitable for all readers, they can adapt them to practice easily while reading the book which gives the reader, the feeling of "attending a workshop" rather than just "reading a book"Last but not least, well explained schema and images to explain the code of each concept plus the details in each step in the code "solving the why". It's direct to the point on each step that it is not easy for beginners in API, to understand them alone for the first time. Thanks for such an interesting book!

Glad I received this book. So far I can't understand every part of the book since I'm still mastering manual testing but my next school I'm starting we will dive deep into it so I'm very happy I have very detailed book and many great examples, it's life changer. Thank you
