If you’re following along from your own computer, by the end of Part 2, you should have a working API Request that includes code to test the Request and report the test results to Jira’s Zephyr Scale app. In addition to everything we used in Parts 1 and 2, you should also have an idea of what else you could test to ensure the Quality of the API you’re testing.

If you’re following along from your own computer, by the end of Part 1, you should have a working Postman request that POSTs a test case execution result to a test cycle in Jira’s Zephyr Scale app. If you haven’t caught up from Part 1 yet, start there.
