About:
Newman is a command-line collection runner for Postman. It allows you to easily run and test Postman collections directly from the terminal, enabling seamless integration into CI/CD pipelines and automated testing workflows. This tool is essential for backend developers and QA engineers looking to validate API functionality programmatically.

Key Features:

Run Postman collections directly from the command line
Supports environment variables for dynamic testing
Integrates with CI/CD tools like Jenkins and GitHub Actions
Generates detailed test reports in multiple formats

Use Cases:

Automated API regression testing in CI/CD pipelines
Load testing and performance monitoring of APIs
Scheduled API health checks and monitoring

Alternatives:

HTTPie – HTTPie is a general-purpose HTTP client, while Newman specifically runs Postman collections for API testing automation.
curl – curl is a versatile command-line tool for HTTP requests, but lacks built-in collection management and test assertion features that Newman provides.
