- 11. Tips for writing better Postman tests @getpostman @petuniaGray @arlemi Group multiple assertions ● Keep them logically organized for those who review the test results and need to debug issues Use messages and console statements ● Provide visibility to validate conditional testing and execution order ● Prepend custom messages Use descriptive, consistent, or dynamic test names ● Use variables within test names to provide more detail, especially if the same test is used for multiple scenarios or iterations

- 36. Modern software is undergoing a pivotal shift from code-first to API-first. Every software application today is either an API or uses an API. The production and consumption of APIs is a massive collaborative activity that is several order of magnitudes above the need to collaborate on code. Postman is positioned to win in this API-first world.
