Nikita Duplicate: Think of it like making a photocopy. You get an exact copy of the collection that you can edit and change however you like, but it stays within your own workspace Fork: This is more like creating a branch in a code repository. You create a new version of the collection that's linked to the original. If the original collection is updated, you can see those changes and choose to merge them into your forked copy. Forks are also useful for collaboration, as you can share your forked collection with others In short, if you just want your own personal copy to play around with, use Duplicate. If you want to keep track of changes in the original collection or collaborate with others, use Fork -
Navneet To set a common Bearer Token and Base URL for a single collection in Postman, you have a few options: 1. Collection Variables: - Create a collection variable for the Bearer Token and Base URL. - In your collection, go to the Variables tab. - Define the following variables: - `tokenBaseURL`: Set this to the base URL for your authentication service. - `authData`: If your auth service requires specific data, add it here as a JSON object. - Now, your requests within the collection can reference these variables. 2. Pre-request Script: - You can use a pre-request script at the collection level to set environment variables dynamically. - Here's an example of how to set the Bearer Token using a script: ```javascript pm.sendRequest({ url: 'YourURL', method: 'POST', header: { 'content-type': 'application/json' }, body: { mode: 'raw', raw: JSON.stringify({ // YOUR PARAM TO CREATE THE TOKEN IF NEEDED }) } }, (err, res) => { pm.collectionVariables.set('TOKEN', res.json().accessToken); }); ``` 3. Environment Variables: - Create a new environment or use an existing one. - Add environment variables for the Bearer Token and Base URL. - Set the values accordingly. Remember to choose the approach that best fits your project requirements and workflow -

hello, thank you for your videos they are very helpful ,So I have question I don't have any real experience and I already learn java as programming language and selenium (junit and testng) and I can create POM framework from the scratch and Jenkins ,also I learn soupui postman restassured for API testing, So my question is Am I ready to apply for job as automation tester?
Malak Yes, you are ready to apply for a job as an automation tester. You have a good foundation in programming languages, testing frameworks, and API testing tools. You also have the ability to create a POM framework from scratch and to use Jenkins for continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD). However, it is important to keep in mind that some companies may prefer to hire automation testers with experience. To increase your chances of getting hired, you can try to gain some real-world experience by working on personal projects or contributing to open source projects. You can also try to get involved in the automation testing community by attending meetups and conferences. This is a great way to learn about new technologies and trends, and to network with other automation testers. Here are some additional tips for applying for jobs as an automation tester: * Tailor your resume and cover letter to each job that you apply for. Highlight the skills and experience that are most relevant to the job. * Be prepared to talk about your automation testing skills and experience in job interviews. Be able to explain how you have used your skills to solve real-world problems. * Be willing to start at an entry-level position if necessary. This is a great way to gain experience and to learn from more experienced automation testers. I wish you the best of luck in your job search
Hi Sir tqu .. I got a new job because of you i followed entire java selenium suite.but they are working in Cypress automation frame work , now I have a dout whether I have to go or not and wt about cypress future/scope and it's is good or not for my career. Please respond to this , iam Regorsly waiting.
Navneet Let's break down the problem step by step to troubleshoot the issue Step 1: Make sure you have saved your project. Verify that you have tests in your collection * Open your Postman collection and check if you have any tests written for the requests * Look for the "Tests" tab in each request. If you don't see any tests, that's likely the reason why Postman is showing "No test found" * Make sure you have at least one test written in the "Tests" tab of a request in your collection Step 2: Check the test syntax * If you have tests written, check the syntax of the tests to ensure they are correct * Postman uses the Chai assertion library for writing tests. Make sure you're using the correct syntax for Chai assertions * Common mistakes include incorrect indentation, missing semicolons, or incorrect function calls Step 3: Check the test location * Ensure that the tests are located in the correct place. Tests should be written in the "Tests" tab of a request, not in the "Pre-request Script" or "Post-request Script" tabs * If you have tests in a separate file or folder, make sure they are properly linked to the request Step 4: Check the collection settings * Open your collection settings by clicking the three dots next to the collection name and selecting "Edit" * In the collection settings, ensure that the "Run tests" option is enabled * Also, check if there are any filters or conditions set that might be preventing the tests from running Step 5: Check for any errors in the console * Open the Postman console by clicking the "Console" button at the bottom of the Postman window * Check for any error messages related to the tests. If you see an error, it might give you a clue about what's going wrong Step 6: Try running the tests individually * Instead of running the entire collection, try running each request individually to see if the tests pass or fail * This can help you identify if the issue is specific to a particular request or if it's a collection-wide problem -
Hello sir I'm a fresher now currently I'm following your selenium classes and can you tell me what should i go for next ,which can help me get a job in quality assurance.What is the current trend to follow?
In Postman, you can create a duplicate of a collection or fork a collection The main difference between the two is that a duplicate is an exact copy of the original collection, including all of its requests and folders, whereas a fork creates a new copy of the original collection that you can edit and modify without affecting the original collection In summary, if you want to make a copy of a collection and make changes to it without affecting the original, you should fork the collection. If you want to make an exact copy of the collection, you should duplicate it.
@@RaghavPal So you are saying that if I will use duplicate copy of collection than I cant modify and update in that duplicate copy of collection. Changes will reflect to original copy of collection in case of changes in duplicate collection.
No, that is not the case, Just understand why we need forking Forking is useful when working on a team or collaborating with others, as it allows multiple users to make changes to the same collection without interfering with each other's work. you can merge a forked collection with the original collection by using the "Import" feature. The process of merging a forked collection with the original collection is also known as "pull request"
Hi Soumen, this generally should be the functionality from API service side, there must be some API where multiple records can be given for deletion, The best we can do in Postman is to add a script which will extract the IDs from a GET API and run the Delete API taking IDs from the extracted list
Thank you sir, I am fresher and wanted to learn Postman. Please share more videos on Postman.
Will upload soon
Thanks for awesome videos and your patience is taking is slow and basic level
You are welcome Richard. Thanks for the support
Clear and concise explanation, thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Sir what is the difference between Fork and Duplicate option in collection?

To set a common Bearer Token and Base URL for a single collection in Postman, you have a few options:
1. Collection Variables:
- Create a collection variable for the Bearer Token and Base URL.
- In your collection, go to the Variables tab.
- Define the following variables:

- `authData`: If your auth service requires specific data, add it here as a JSON object.
- Now, your requests within the collection can reference these variables.
2. Pre-request Script:
- You can use a pre-request script at the collection level to set environment variables dynamically.
- Here's an example of how to set the Bearer Token using a script:
```javascript
pm.sendRequest({
url: 'YourURL',
method: 'POST',
header: {
'content-type': 'application/json'
},
body: {
mode: 'raw',
raw: JSON.stringify({
// YOUR PARAM TO CREATE THE TOKEN IF NEEDED
})
}
}, (err, res) => {
pm.collectionVariables.set('TOKEN', res.json().accessToken);
});
```
3. Environment Variables:
- Create a new environment or use an existing one.
- Add environment variables for the Bearer Token and Base URL.
- Set the values accordingly.

Hello , Is the monitor collection make the collection run automatically in any time without action from me ?
Hi Reham, it will run as per the schedule you set, check here learning.postman.com/docs/monitoring-your-api/intro-monitors/
I Follow your steps, but when I run collection, then it shows as 'No test found'.
Navneet
Let's break down the problem step by step to troubleshoot the issue

* If you have tests in a separate file or folder, make sure they are properly linked to the request
Step 4: Check the collection settings
* Open your collection settings by clicking the three dots next to the collection name and selecting "Edit"
* In the collection settings, ensure that the "Run tests" option is enabled
* Also, check if there are any filters or conditions set that might be preventing the tests from running
Step 5: Check for any errors in the console
* Open the Postman console by clicking the "Console" button at the bottom of the Postman window
* Check for any error messages related to the tests. If you see an error, it might give you a clue about what's going wrong
Step 6: Try running the tests individually
* Instead of running the entire collection, try running each request individually to see if the tests pass or fail
* This can help you identify if the issue is specific to a particular request or if it's a collection-wide problem

Hello sir I'm a fresher now currently I'm following your selenium classes and can you tell me what should i go for next ,which can help me get a job in quality assurance.What is the current trend to follow?
Hi Abhiram, Learn framework creation, API testing, if you can learn some CI CD tools like Jenkins
Hi sir I wonder why we have to run same requests many times when it gives the same result.
There are several features of collection, I will make a video, You can also check the earlier postman playlist here - automationstepbystep.com/
Thank you sir.
what is the difference between duplicate collection and create fork in collection
In Postman, you can create a duplicate of a collection or fork a collection
The main difference between the two is that a duplicate is an exact copy of the original collection, including all of its requests and folders, whereas a fork creates a new copy of the original collection that you can edit and modify without affecting the original collection
In summary, if you want to make a copy of a collection and make changes to it without affecting the original, you should fork the collection. If you want to make an exact copy of the collection, you should duplicate it.
@@RaghavPal So you are saying that if I will use duplicate copy of collection than I cant modify and update in that duplicate copy of collection. Changes will reflect to original copy of collection in case of changes in duplicate collection.
No, that is not the case, Just understand why we need forking
Forking is useful when working on a team or collaborating with others, as it allows multiple users to make changes to the same collection without interfering with each other's work.
you can merge a forked collection with the original collection by using the "Import" feature. The process of merging a forked collection with the original collection is also known as "pull request"
