Workspace organization in Postman - Test Execution Trace

Test Overview

This test verifies that a user can successfully create a new workspace in Postman and that the workspace appears in the workspace list.

Test Code - Selenium with Python unittest

Execution Trace - 7 Steps

Step	Action	System State	Assertion	Result
1	Test starts and opens Chrome browser to Postman web app	Browser opened at https://web.postman.co/ with login page or main page	-	PASS
2	Clicks on workspace dropdown button to open workspace list	Workspace dropdown menu is visible	-	PASS
3	Clicks on 'Create Workspace' button in dropdown	Create Workspace modal/dialog appears	-	PASS
4	Enters 'Test Workspace' into workspace name input field	Input field contains 'Test Workspace'	-	PASS
5	Selects 'Personal' workspace type radio button	'Personal' option is selected	-	PASS
6	Clicks 'Create Workspace' confirm button	Modal closes, workspace is created	-	PASS
7	Clicks workspace dropdown again to refresh workspace list	Workspace dropdown menu is visible with updated list	Check if 'Test Workspace' is in the workspace list	PASS

Failure Scenario

Execution Trace Quiz - 3 Questions

What is the first action performed after opening the Postman web app?

A Click 'Create Workspace' button

B Click the workspace dropdown button

C Enter workspace name

D Select workspace type

Key Result

Always wait explicitly for UI elements to be present and clickable before interacting to avoid flaky tests.
