Collection runner results in Postman - Test Execution Trace

Test Overview

This test runs a Postman collection using the Collection Runner. It verifies that all requests complete successfully and that the expected assertions in each request pass.

Test Code - Postman

Postman

pm.test("Status code is 200", function () {
    pm.response.to.have.status(200);
});
pm.test("Response has expected property", function () {
    var jsonData = pm.response.json();
    pm.expect(jsonData).to.have.property('success', true);
});

Execution Trace - 6 Steps

Step	Action	System State	Assertion	Result
1	Collection Runner starts and loads the collection with multiple requests	Postman UI shows the collection loaded with all requests listed	-	PASS
2	Runner sends the first request to the API endpoint	Network tab shows request sent and response received with status 200	Check if response status code is 200	PASS
3	Runner executes test script for first request	Test script runs in Postman sandbox environment	Verify response JSON has property 'success' with value true	PASS
4	Runner sends the second request to the API endpoint	Network tab shows second request sent and response received with status 200	Check if response status code is 200	PASS
5	Runner executes test script for second request	Test script runs in Postman sandbox environment	Verify response JSON has property 'success' with value true	PASS
6	Collection Runner completes all requests and shows summary	Postman UI shows all requests passed with green checkmarks	Verify all tests passed in the collection run	PASS

Failure Scenario

Failing Condition: If any request returns a status code other than 200 or the response JSON does not have the expected property

Execution Trace Quiz - 3 Questions

What does the Collection Runner verify after sending each request?

A That the response status code is 200

B That the request URL is correct

C That the request headers are present

D That the response time is under 1 second

Key Result

Always verify both the HTTP status code and the response content to ensure your API behaves as expected during automated collection runs.
