Once some users have written their load tests, they want to schedule a load test to run at a particular time or as part of a continuous integration build process. Or even run a recurring test at the same time on a schedule. The RedLine13 API makes this all possible. A Practical Example In a previous post we showed how to get started using the RedLine13 API.

Postman Collections In Postman, a collection is used to allow you to bundle many different requests into one group. Collections are a great way to organize requests so that they “accurately mirrorRead More →
