    I am very confident in API testing after completing this course. The course structure was very good and the instructor is simply awesome in his explanation. I am satisfied with the course. I am expecting a little enhancement in the course, If you can provide more videos in this Postman API for practice, it would be very comfortable for the people who attend this course.
    Thank you.
