Postman - Newman Overview
Newman is a potential command-line runner used in Postman. We can execute and verify a Postman Collection from the command-line as well. Newman has features which are consistent with Postman.
We can run the requests within a Collection from Newman in the same way as in the Collection Runner. Newman can occupy both the NPM registry and GitHub. We can also perform Continuous Integration or Deployment with Newman.
A status code of 0 is thrown by Newman if all the execution is done without errors. The Continuous Integration tools read the status code and accordingly fail/pass a build.
We can add the flag --bail to the Newman to pause on an error encountered in a test with a status code of 1. This can be interpreted by the CI tools. Newman is based on node.js and uses npm as a package manager.
