> Are API testing UIs really relevant anymore?

We have a postman collection mainly for testers to manually verify certain aspect of a otherwise fairly unit and end-to-end test covered API.

Have you considered converting this to an actual test suite in $language with AI doing the majority of the work?

No, not really. It's already unit and end-to-end tested.

But sometimes the tester needs to make a test where they create something via the official API to use it in other parts of the app. They just open Postman (soon to be replaced), select the collection, select the server, select POST-item and of the the races. Not everything needs to be AI.

We could vibe code something specific for our needs, but that would be more or less again just end up something like postman again? At least I currently don't have the vision to see a big change.

This.

Why do you have a collection that is passed to humans for manual testing in the age of agents?

Export to curl?

		They are testers, not devs. They don't know how to use command line, or edit environment variables.
