This document summarizes a presentation on continuous quality testing with Postman. The presentation introduced continuous quality as a systematic approach to finding and fixing defects during development. It covered recommended testing practices like running tests locally and automating tests. The presentation demonstrated how to extend Postman with libraries, use monitors for regression testing, and automate testing in CI/CD pipelines with Newman. Additional resources on testing with Postman were provided.
