Well, here it is!
Here's my @getpostman talk at #postcon2019.

I talk about:
- My testing background.
- My "relationship/history" with Postman and the community.
- How I'm using Postman at @gear4music @g4mtech

@XpertChristy The Maiden fans were out and about in Manchester last night too 😁

@fishouthebox Very common in the gaming industry. Which sucks as you can’t mention it in your show reel/CV

[Paul Farrell @PostmanPaul540]

So…I went to see @thedarkness perform at the @MandSBankArena tonight and the fire/smoke alarm went off after the first song.

We all had to evacuate the venue after the first song 😂

Check out the smoke above the lights 😬

I’m curious how this was tested at the venue 🤔🤔

That said, I am calling everyone out for a challenge! You give me a web component of any framework that you think is impossible to test or get a 100% test coverage for and I will proof you otherwise 🧐 if I loose I will donate $100 to a charity of your choice! Game on! 🤝

@AutomationPanda That’s what I do whenever I want to learn new languages. 😂 Googling “what is the [insert language here] equivalent of npm install/test”

@cactusflamingo_ I used to play this on my commute to work. When “that event” happened towards the end, I needed to take a minute before walking to the office 😂 I was a wreck. Incredible game

It was only a matter of time…

APIs are a key component of how data is collected & shared.

And to make sure your APIs are working as they should, you need to test them.

In this beginner's guide, @larymak1 explains why it's important to test APIs & shares some best practices & tips.

@fishouthebox I imagine A LOT of people feel that way on social media. I definitely do. It’s why I’m a “lurker” on this and LinkedIn 🤷‍♂️

[Paul Farrell @PostmanPaul540]

I’m really looking forward to reading this! Im glad to see the physical copy of this book after all the work you’ve put into it :)

The most exciting v8 feature is the new browser runner that allows you to run unit and component tests in an actual/real browser environment. It comes with presets for @reactjs, @preactjs, @vuejs, @sveltejs, @solid_js and @buildWithLit and is powered by @vite_js 💪  (3/6) 🧵

@cactusflamingo_ 🤦🏻‍♂️

[Sarah Drasner @sarah_edo]

You know why us Senior+ engineers have good hygiene around structuring and naming conventions?

It’s because we’ve been bitten by our mistakes enough times to have respect for what we can do wrong when we’re careless.

One of the most critical decisions for your career is who you pick as a life partner. Partnering well is an accelerant.
