Company handles ~100 million documents and builds a cloud-native document management API; automated non-developer friendly tests by turning OpenAPI specs into generated Postman collections, replacing manual copy‑paste and fragile iteration data. A Node app uses the Postman Collection SDK to emit per-scenario items, runs them with newman CLI, and integrates results into Jenkins and Google Chat alerts. Testers supply JSON scenario files, tests run in CI, and failures surface immediately.
