Often I need to queue up some unit tests on-the-fly. I recently came across the following helpers:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n1.  CREATE POSTMAN API TESTS FROM
\nSWAGGER<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\nIn case anyone else did not know, it is now an option to take the swagger document from your WebAPI, import it into Postman and, voila, test cases for controllers created.   <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n1.      <\/span>Create swagger.json from API<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
\na.      <\/span>ie, http:\/\/10.157.135.155:8080\/swagger\/docs\/v1<\/a><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
\n2.      <\/span>Open Postman<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
\n3.      <\/span>Navigate to “Import” button<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n4.      <\/span>Open swagger.json file (or paste, etc)<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\n2.  RUN POSTMAN TESTS FROM VISUAL STUDIO<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\nPostman Runner for VSCode allows you to run <\/span>Postman<\/a> tests from your VSCode. It analyze the workspace folder and locate <\/span>collection<\/em> and <\/span>environment<\/em> files.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
