Collection runner results in Postman

Introduction

Collection runner results show you the outcome of running a group of API requests together. They help you see which requests worked and which did not.

When you want to test multiple API requests in one go.

When you need to check if all parts of your API work correctly together.

When you want to save time by running many tests automatically.

When you want to see detailed results for each request in a collection.

When you want to export test results for sharing or analysis.

Syntax

Postman

No specific code syntax; collection runner results are shown in the Postman app interface or exported as JSON.

Results include status codes, response times, and test pass/fail info.

You can export results as a JSON file for further use.

Examples

This shows a summary of each request's status and test results.

Postman

Run a collection in Postman Collection Runner and view the results tab.

You get a JSON file with detailed info about each request's response and tests.

Postman

Export collection runner results as JSON from the Postman app.

Sample Program

This JSON shows results from running three API requests: Get, Update, and Delete user. Each request has its response code and test result.

Postman

      "iterations": 1,
      "requests": 3,
      "tests": 3,
      "assertions": 3
    },
    "executions": [

          "body": ""
        },
        "tests": {
          "Status code is 204": true
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

Failed tests are clearly marked to help you fix issues.

Exported results can be used to create reports or share with teammates.
