Every time your code changes, you’re stuck updating all those hand-written tests. It’s a hassle
Writing tests manually can mean missing out on crucial business rules and edge cases. Plus there is no way to measure coverage of Postman tests.
Prepping scripts, automating workflows, and seeding test data? It all eats up your time.
You need all your services up and running, which isn’t always possible.
With Postman
HyperTest generates end-to-end API tests, so you're not stuck writing them manually.
Unlike Postman, where you need to manually write validations on responses, HyperTest produces schema and data assertions programmatically never missing a failure.
Tests end to end workflows without needing to seed and manage test data.
While Postman requires external systems to be up and running, HyperTest allows you to run tests locally without needing dedicated environments. No Postman runners or Newman CLI needed.

What are the challenges with Postman?It’s a great tool for exercising APIs, testing them, documenting them and even sharing knowledge on APIs across a team. The problem is that everything’s manual in Postman. It can be slow when handling large numbers of requests or extensive test suites, which can impact testing efficiency. Postman offers limited automation capabilities, requiring significant effort to set up and maintain complex test scenarios. Additionally, Postman lacks integrated version control, which complicates collaboration and tracking changes over time. Poor assertions since everything’s manual here, so quality of assertions is also a dependent factor on how you’re writing them
-
What about the learning curve with HyperTest?HyperTest is built with the aim to simply user-experience, so this eliminates the question of even having any learning curve. From learning about the product to actually setting it up and using it, it can all be completed smoothly within one week. While the learning curve for mastering Postman is steeper compared to HyperTest, especially when delving into advanced features such as scripting and complex test environment setups.
-
What are the main advantages of HyperTest over Postman?HyperTest offers automation, first of all. It takes out all the manual effort and time that you’re already tired of spending in Postman. Not only it takes away the pain of manually writing and maintaining test cases, but also removes the need to prepare any test data to test stateful flows.
