This repository contains the presentation and demo contents I presented at the talk I gave in Quality Talks on the 31st January 2019, in Lisbon. The first part of the talk was a presentation focusing on the advantages of API testing and how we can leverage it in test automation. The second part was a demo where I showed how we can automate API tests using Postman and how we can run Postman collections in Docker containers. I used Sendgrid's API for this demo.

You can find the presentation here. The Postman collection is on the collections folder and the environment variables are on the file on envrionments folder. There is a docker-compose file on the root directory that allows to run Postman collections in Docker containers. Finally, I used Circle CI as a continuous integration tool to run the collections each time a new commit is added to this repo. You can find the Circle CI configurations here.

To run the collection in a Docker container, you need to have Docker installed as well docker-compose, which a tool that allows to easily manage Docker containers. Then, you just need to run the following command on the directory that contains the docker-compose.yml file.

docker-compose up
