Performance Testing
by postmanlabs67cff8f385d8No licenseListed Oct 8, 2026Updated Oct 8, 2026
Load-tests a collection with concurrent virtual users, a chosen load profile, and pass/fail thresholds on latency or error rate — run locally or on Postman's cloud runners. Use when the user asks to "load test this API," "run a performance test," "check how this holds up under load," or "benchmark this collection." Covers `postman performance run`. This generates real traffic against a real target — confirm the target and scale before running, the same way any action with effects outside this session gets confirmed.

Flows
postmanlabs
Operate Postman Flows from the CLI: list, run, trigger, deploy, update, and debug flows and their runs.
Ci Integration
postmanlabs
Adds Postman CLI checks as separate pass/fail gates in a CI pipeline.
Api Testing
postmanlabs
Runs tests against an API from the command line — a single ad-hoc request, a full collection of pm.test assertions, or matching real captured app traffic against a collection contract. Use when the user asks to "test this endpoint," "run this collection," "check the API still works," or "verify my app's requests match the contract." Covers `postman request`, `postman collection run`, and `postman application test`. Depends on bootstrap when the target is a cloud collection or workspace-bound environment; a bare URL or local collection needs nothing from bootstrap.
Api Monitoring
postmanlabs
Creates, schedules, and manages Postman Monitors — recurring checks against a live API — triggers ad hoc runs, inspects job/run history to diagnose failures, and hosts self-hosted execution runners for monitors on a private network. Use when the user asks to "set up a monitor," "run this monitor now," "check monitor results," "pause/resume a monitor," or "set up a runner for our internal APIs." Covers `postman monitor` (create, update, delete, list, get, pause, resume, run, jobs, runs) and `postman runner` (start, list, regions).
Api Mocking
postmanlabs
Creates and runs fake API backends locally or in the cloud, with scenario and status-code overrides for testing.
Api Engineer
postmanlabs
Guides API engineering work from contract design through implementation, mocking, testing, documentation and deployment.
