Newman is a command-line collection runner for Postman that executes Postman collections directly from the terminal. It is extensible with custom reporters and designed for integration with CI/CD systems like Jenkins.

Use cases

  • run postman collections from the command line
  • run api tests in jenkins or ci pipeline
  • generate or junit reports from api test runs
  • execute postman collection without the postman app
  • automate api regression testing
  • run postman collections in docker

When to choose

  • you already maintain Postman collections and want to run them in CI/CD
  • you need headless, scriptable execution of API test suites
  • you want pluggable reporters (CLI, JSON, JUnit, HTML) for test output

When to avoid

  • you are not using the Postman collection format
  • you need a GUI for exploring and debugging APIs interactively
  • you need load or performance testing at scale
