Postman Keywords

Common Postman Scripting Keywords

• pm.test("name", function(){...}) — defines a named test with a pass/fail assertion.
• pm.response.to.have.status(200) — asserts the response status code.
• pm.expect(value).to.eql(expected) — general-purpose assertion comparing actual vs expected.
• pm.response.json() — parses the response body as JSON for further checks.
• pm.environment.set("key", value) / pm.environment.get("key") — set or read environment variables.
• pm.globals.set("key", value) — sets a global variable accessible across environments.

Why These Matter

These keywords are the building blocks for turning manual Postman requests into automated, self-verifying tests.
