Newman ≠ just “Postman in CLI”
With a few practical patterns, it becomes a real CI tool. Here are 8 techniques I actually use:
1️⃣ Env switching – same tests for dev/staging/prod.
2️⃣ CLI vars – tokens, build IDs, branch names without editing envs
3️⃣ Fail fast – --bail stops pipeline on first critical error
4️⃣ Repeat runs – -n 20 catches flaky tests & hidden state issues
5️⃣ Data-driven – CSV lets one endpoint cover roles, edge cases, neg flows
6️⃣ Readable reports – HTML/JUnit you can attach to release notes
7️⃣ Folder runs – Smoke, Regression, Auth – run only what matters
8️⃣ Dockerized Newman – zero setup, works in CI, easy onboarding
