Questions about application-testing
What does the application-testing skill do?
Sets up, runs, debugs, and interprets results from `postman application test` — the Postman layer that runs your Playwright tests, captures their network traffic, matches it against a collection contract, runs pm.test assertions, and publishes results to Application Inventory. Covers the Postman side of the integration only — not Playwright test authoring or Playwright failures unrelated to capture. Use when the user asks to "set up application testing," "test my application with Postman," "connect my Playwright tests to Postman," "capture network traffic from Playwright," "Playwright tests are running but nothing shows up in Postman," "why isn't application testing capturing anything," "exclude certain requests from capture," "generate a collection from my app's traffic," "set up application testing in CI," "what API coverage do my e2e tests have," "which APIs are my Playwright tests not hitting."
How do I install application-testing?
In a terminal: npx skills add postmanlabs/postman-plugin --skill application-testing. The skills CLI asks which agents to install it for. In Claude.ai you can upload the skill folder as a ZIP under Settings → Skills.
Which agents can use application-testing?
Skills use the open SKILL.md format, which Claude Code, Claude.ai, the Claude API, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI and other agents support.
Is application-testing safe to use?
Our automatic check found no risky patterns (piped shell scripts, hidden characters, secret access, prompt overrides). It is not a full audit – read the SKILL.md and any scripts before installing.
