Output block in Postman - Test Execution Trace

Test Overview

This test sends a GET request to a sample API endpoint and verifies that the response status code is 200 and the response body contains a specific key with the expected value.

Test Code - Postman

Postman

pm.test("Status code is 200", function () {
    pm.response.to.have.status(200);
});

pm.test("Response has userId 1", function () {
    var jsonData = pm.response.json();
    pm.expect(jsonData.userId).to.eql(1);
});

Execution Trace - 3 Steps

Step	Action	System State	Assertion	Result
1	Send GET request to https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1	Request sent, waiting for response	-	PASS
2	Receive response with status code 200 and JSON body	Response received: {"userId":1,"id":1,"title":"...","body":"..."}	Check if status code is 200	PASS
3	Parse JSON response body	Parsed JSON object available	Verify jsonData.userId equals 1	PASS

Failure Scenario

Failing Condition: Response status code is not 200 or userId is not 1

Execution Trace Quiz - 3 Questions

What does the first test assertion verify?

A That the response status code is 200

B That the response body contains userId 1

C That the request URL is correct

D That the response time is less than 1 second

Key Result

Always verify both the response status code and the key data in the response body to ensure the API behaves as expected.
