I am familiar with unit testing (using Tape). But if I understand correctly, things like HTTP requests fall more in the category of integration testing, rather than unit testing?

  Postman is an API platform for building and using APIs. Postman simplifies each step of the API lifecycle and streamlines collaboration so you can create better APIs—faster.

  

Hi all. I've built an Express app with a three routes: one route for user registration, another route for user login, and a third route which requires the user to be authorized. Currently, to make sure all routes are working as expected, I have to open a third party app which can send HTTP requests (like Postman), use it to manually make several POST and GET requests to my routes, and visually confirm the correct responses are returned. Testing in this way is getting a bit tedious. How can I automate this process so I don't have to manually carry out these tasks every time I make an edit?
