Don’t get TechCrunched: performance testing for your HTTP APIs

Postman wasn’t originally designed for load testing, but our community has asked how they can use Postman to do it. If you have a solution using Newman for load testing, tell us about it in the comments below.

I’ve done a lot of performance testing using JMeter over the last few years and recently started using Postman to help implement an API automation framework with GitHub actions (it works great so far) … but I did wonder if there was a way to export the Postman collections to JMeter.

Turns out, as far as I can see, that this bridge doesn’t exist (please let me know if I am wrong!!).

But with this in mind, a few days ago I started to write some JavaScript that takes a collection JSON file, strips out data, and inputs it into a JMeter test fragment template.

I’m, not a developer by any means and have only recently started to learn JavaScript but started this in my spare time.

I have now just seen the write up on medium and would be really keen to leverage Newman for loading up collections!! Definitely going to try and look into this in more detail!!
