Postman is a powerful HTTP client for testing web services. It is available as a Google Chrome Application (Extension ) as well as a desktop application.

AutomationEdge(AE) application uses custom authentication process. Before using any REST APIs, first you need to authenticate with AE server, get the session token and then use it for the subsequent REST calls.
