Overview of this book

In the implementation of DevOps processes, the choice of tools is crucial to the sustainability of projects and collaboration between developers and ops. This book presents the different patterns and tools for provisioning and configuring an infrastructure in the cloud, covering mostly open source tools with a large community contribution, such as Terraform, Ansible, and Packer, which are assets for automation. This DevOps book will show you how to containerize your applications with Docker and Kubernetes and walk you through the construction of DevOps pipelines in Jenkins as well as Azure pipelines before covering the tools and importance of testing. You'll find a complete chapter on DevOps practices and tooling for open source projects before getting to grips with security integration in DevOps using Inspec, Hashicorp Vault, and Azure Secure DevOps kit. You'll also learn about the reduction of downtime with blue-green deployment and feature flags techniques before finally covering common DevOps best practices for all your projects. By the end of this book, you'll have built a solid foundation in DevOps and developed the skills necessary to enhance a traditional software delivery process using modern software delivery tools and techniques.

Understanding the Newman concept

So far in this chapter, we have talked about using Postman locally to test the APIs that we develop or consume. But what is important in the unit, acceptance, and integration tests is that they are automated so that they can be executed within a CI/CD pipeline.

Postman, as such, is a graphical tool that does not automate itself, but there is another tool called Newman that automates tests that are written in Postman.

Note

We can also use another tool called Postman Sandbox to run the Postman API in Node.js or a browser. For more information, read the GitHub repository here: https://github.com/postmanlabs/postman-sandbox.

Newman is a free command-line tool that has the great advantage of automating tests that are already written in Postman. It allows us to integrate API test execution in CI/CD scripts or processes.

In addition, it offers the possibility of generating the test results of reports of different formats (HTML, JUnit, and JSON...
