Run Postman request in parallel to shorten the runtime of the tests

A known limitation of the Postman Collection Runner is that it can only execute collection in a consecutive way. The scope is to offer a simple way to run the tests faster in paralel, thus shortening the runtime.

Create your Postman Collection and corresponding tests

Here I needed to call the AuthService api /oauth/token to get the token.

Export your collection and the environment variables

And save the files in a playground/ directory or anywhere else. You need to specify the path when you run the script.

Create the new npm project

Simply run yarn Modify the script to you needs.

The script !

Run the script with the follwoing parameters

NEWMAN_THREADS=8 NEWMAN_COLLECTION=playground/your_collection.json NEWMAN_ENV_FILE=playground/your_environment.json yarn start
