Mapping Format for Postman Collection and Environment

Follow the mapping format in Testsigma to automatically map the collection and environment when importing them, enabling you to create automated API tests quickly.  

Postman	Testsigma
Collection	Test Suite
Subfolder	Test Case
API inside Subfolders	Test Steps in Test Case
Folder inside Subfolder	Create a Block inside the Test Case
Collection Variables	Test Data Profiles
Global, Environments, Variables	Environments
Parent Folder	Label of Test Case

NOTE

• The import will create a new entry, appending the timestamp to the title if a collection with the same name already exists.
• The import mapping excludes test scripts, prerequisite scripts, settings, unsupported authorizations, HTTP methods, and GraphQL requests.
