Case Study: Bounteous cuts custom test-writing time 50% with Postman
Key results
The challenge
Bounteous builds digital services for restaurant and convenience-store clients, serving 13,000 locations that process large volumes of transactions. Writing and maintaining custom API tests and coordinating between QA and software engineers was slow.
The solution
Bounteous adopted Postman, using Collections, Environments, and Monitors with a Slack integration to standardize test development and pinpoint when problems entered test environments.
“Postman is the ideal partner. It is by developers for developers, so there's a mutual respect.”
RTRochelle TurnerQA Manager, Bounteous
The results, in context
Postman cut the time taken to write custom tests by 50%, with custom test development up to twice as fast in some cases and ongoing maintenance simplified through environment variables. Bounteous serves 13,000 restaurants and convenience stores that process 160 million digital transactions worth $2 billion annually.
