# json-postman

JSON Automation Test Case via Postman

## Abstract

### Why Validate Data as a Separate Step?

	* to fail fast

	* to avoid data corruption

	* to simplify processing code

	* to use validation code in tests

		

### Why JSON (and not XML)?

	* as wide adoption as XML

	* easier to process and more concise than XML

	* dominates web development because of JavaScript

### Why Use Schemas?

	* declarative

	* easier to maintain

	* can be understood by non-coders

	* no need to write code, third party open-source libraries can be used

### Why JSON-Schema?

	* the widest adoption among all standards for JSON validation

	* very mature (current version is 4, there are proposals for version 5)

	* covers a big part of validation scenarios

	* uses easy-to-parse JSON documents for schemas

	* platform independent

	* easily extensible

	* 30+ validators for different languages, including 10+ for JavaScript, so no need to code it yourself

	

### Why Using This Repo (zeroc0d3/json-postman)?

	* tested result

	* easy to learn from simple to complex condition

	* using schema references to validate the response

	* using external library PostmanBDD not only TinyValidator (tv4)

## Installation

1. Install postman.

2. Install tv4 (Tiny Validator).

   * npm install tv4

3. Install ajv (Another JSON Schema Validator).

   * npm install ajv

4. Copy & paste the testcase script on tab "test" postman.

4. Click "Start Runner" button.

5. Done.

## Using Newman

1. Download test result "ZeroC0D3_Result.json" in folder "collection".

2. Install newman

3. Open your terminal / command,

4. Running newman command

   * newman -c ZeroC0D3_Result.json 	

5. Done.
