Postman API Laboratory

This repository serves as a personal laboratory and learning space for exploring and mastering API testing with Postman.

Project Purpose

The primary goal of this project is to document the learning process of Postman, from basic requests to advanced features like authentication, automated testing, and collaboration. It acts as a hands-on environment for experimenting with different APIs and testing methodologies. This project is a core part of my journey to learn Quality Assurance and software testing principles.
