Made me think. Every time I see a “Postman collection” or similar artifacts, my heart skips a bit. Use curl. Run it interactively in the terminal. When it works, move it into a shell script where you can simply check the status code. Voilà, magic! you’ve got yourself a simple but valuable integration test.

Instead of juggling dashboards and collections of requests, or relying on your shell history as Matklad mentions, you have it in a file that you can commit and plug into CI. Win-win.

At some point, that testing shell script can be integrated into your codebase using your working language and build tooling.
