What this is
The track teaches building requests, variables, collections, writing tests and light automation. All of it is done inside Postman itself, so learning the subject and learning the tool happen together.
The Student Expert badge is issued under Postman's name. Postman is close to a standard requirement in QA vacancies, which makes this one of the most directly relevant free steps in that direction.

Beginners in QA or backend who need something to fill out a portfolio.
