Test case package - one zip file

Currently we only support uploading your local zip file to Testany. The zip file should follow this structure:

my-postman-test.zip
└── collection.json      ← Postman collection file (required, only ONE .json allowed)

Registration settings:

Executor: Postman
Path: collection.json

ℹ️

Postman executor only supports a single .json collection file. If you need environment variables, configure them in the Environment Variables section on the test case detail page.

The zip file needs to contain at least one file:

Test case code file, like hello-postman.postman_collection.json hello-postman.postman_collection.json

JSON
{
	"info": {
		"_postman_id": "2c19e161-6009-4237-8643-9c6df5b0c596",
		"name": "hello-postman",
		"schema": "https://schema.getpostman.com/json/collection/v2.1.0/collection.json",
		"_exporter_id": "549544"
	},
	"item": [
		{
			"name": "website-active-check",
			"event": [
				{
					"listen": "test",
					"script": {
						"exec": [
							"pm.test(\"Status code is 200\", function(){",
							"   pm.response.to.have.status(200);",
							"})"
						],
						"type": "text/javascript"
					}
				}
			],
			"request": {
				"method": "GET",
				"header": [],
				"url": {
					"raw": "{{URL}}",
					"host": [
						"{{URL}}"
					]
				}
			},
			"response": []
		}
	]
}

💡

Environment Variables Configuration

The Postman variables used in your collection (e.g., {{URL}}) must be configured in both places:

Test Case detail page → Environment Variables section: Define URL and its value (e.g., https://api.example.com)
Postman collection: Use {{URL}} syntax to reference the variable

Testany automatically passes Environment Variables to Postman during execution. See Managing Test Case for details.

zip all the related files as one zip file, in this case the test case package file is postman-test.zip

After you've successfully prepared the .zip file, you will be able to go to register your test case on Testany Platform. Please refer to for the registration step-by-step guide.
