Postman is used to design, test, and manage APIs throughout their entire lifecycle. It allows developers and QA teams to easily create, send, and analyze HTTP requests to verify API behavior, validate responses, and debug issues without writing additional code. Postman also supports environment variables, automated test scripts, and collections, making it easier to test APIs across different environments. Overall, Postman simplifies API development, improves collaboration, and ensures APIs work reliably before and after deployment.
