For example, I recently read a question from one person who wanted to know whether they should learn about Postman or RestAssured for API automation. On the surface, this seems like a question that can be easily answered, which was demonstrated in some of the responses to the original poster’s question. Each person replying shared their own experiences and what they felt was their preferred tool. This is helpful to understand the preferences of others but it doesn’t answer the question: What tool do you need to learn about?
