Native Datasets in Postman

Stop scattering CSVs across repos or hardcoding test data! In this video, we demo the new Postman Datasets feature (now available in Beta across Solo, Team, and Enterprise plans). Learn how to keep your test data native to Postman, version control it in Git, and use custom SQL views to power your collection runs without duplicating files or touching raw data. What You’ll Learn: • What are Postman Datasets and why you should stop using external CSVs • Setting up local file sources (CSV/JSON) and database connections (MySQL/PostgreSQL) • Creating custom SQLite-compatible SQL Views (e.g., filtering for critical inventory items) • Wiring dataset views directly into the Postman Collection Runner • Advanced use cases: local mock servers, pre-request & post-response scripts (`pm.datasets`), and Agent Mode generation Useful Links: • Try Postman Datasets: https://postman.com • Official Postman Datasets Documentation: https://learning.postman.com/docs/tests-and-scripts/datasets/overview/ #Postman #APITesting #SoftwareEngineering #DataDrivenTesting #DeveloperTools #PostmanTutorial #DevOps #QA
