- 🚀 Learn how to conduct load testing for your APIs using Postman Collection Runner. This tutorial covers everything you need to know about configuring and analyzing API performance under load.
✅ Key Topics:
Setting up virtual users for concurrent requests
Configuring test duration and load profiles (fixed vs. ramp-up)
Monitoring metrics: Total requests, response time, throughput, and error rate
Analyzing detailed graphs and filtering data by endpoints
Running and customizing load tests with Postman
📈 See how to:
Gradually increase virtual users for a realistic load test
Interpret response times, request throughput, and error percentages
Filter performance metrics for specific endpoints and adjust configurations dynamically

This is perfect. Well done!
If you get a high error rate how do you go about changing the API code to reduce that ? Also what determines an acceptable error % in the test results ?
Yes I was thinking that, when specifying to managers the throughput of the system, would just below the first error be the number that it can handle ?
Looking at his example graph, there are errors early on, despite the system then being able to later handle more users and a higher throughput later.
So not really sure how to determine what the actual reliable throughput quantity is of the system
@@ivangutowski-smith6514Yeah exactly, it all still seems a bit vague to me.
Same here, if you find an answer please post so we can learn, thank you
Which tool it is? Interesting graph & test results to analysis.
Wanted to know how the test scripts being added here to execute.
Can these data be exported to CSV?
I don't see these 'Functional/Performance' options in my collection runner and I'm on the latest version
See the link in the description for early access
this is just what i was looking for. im using postman at the moment to test an API. are you guaranteed to get access with the sign up?
Everyone has access now! blog.postman.com/postman-api-performance-testing/
I cannot see this functional/performance in my collection runner
See the link in the description for early access
How do you pass token for concurrent users?
this is very good. how can we increase virtual concurrent user ? thanks
Hi, Can these performance tests be included in CI/CD pipeline? Please confirm.
Performance tests run from the computer where the Postman desktop app is running (not in the cloud).
Hey, I have one question this all request are sending at same time or there is minor difference ? And if not is that can be possible that we send lacs of request at same time?
Great question! We have a community page dedicated to more detailed Q&A, which you can find here: community.postman.com
Feel free to link this video and add your questions and comments there so it has wider visibility and reach with the greater Postman Developer Community. Thank you!
What do i do if i want only 100 request in the api ?
is this feature going to be paid/licensed version of Postman?
I really need the feature so i can run my performance test in server not locally. this is not much beneficial to run locally
Great feature, but it was hard for me to understand the spoken English, also the sound quality was rather poor. Anyway as I was saying I'm really excited by this feature!
How can I check with 1000, 10000 virtual users
the sound is so poor and has weak quality
