Postman usage

Import the collection in Postman

Once you have a generated Postman collection, select "import" in Postman. The generated collection format is 2.1.

A collection should appear, starting with the name "Pact".

Create a Postman environment

A url variable is used for all the requests. The next step is to create an Postman environment with a url variable, for example: url: http://my-service.com.

You're good to go - so make the requests!
