Situation:
You are given a task to complete and you decided to implement an open-source solution. This task could be any level of complexity from a popup modal, image carousel, to application state-management system.

Our mock server handles many Collections (groups of requests), and for each request we write unit tests and monitor for stability. The experience of writing unit tests in Postman, imo, are not only quick…
