Encode/Decode the variable/response using Postman itself

We get a lot of use cases where we may have to implement Base64 encoding and/or decoding while building our APIs. And, if you are wondering if it is possible to encode/decode the variable/response using Postman itself or how to encode/decode the token or password in postman and save it in a variable?


To Base64 encode/decode, the quickest way is to use JavaScript methods btoa, atob:

  • atob - It turns base64-encoded ASCII data back to binary.
  • btoa - It turns binary data to base64-encoded ASCII.

Sample code:

var responseBody = pm.response.json();

var parsedPwd = JSON.parse(atob(responseBody.password)); // presuming password is in the payload

pm.collectionVariables.set("password", parsedPwd);

ARIA Snapshot in Playwright

  What is an ARIA Snapshot in Playwright? An  ARIA snapshot  in Playwright is a structured representation of a page’s  accessibility tree , which is used by assistive technologies (e.g., screen readers) to interpret the content of a web page. This snapshot helps verify if elements have the correct  roles, names, and properties  required for accessibility. Playwright provides the page.accessibility.snapshot() API to capture this accessibility tree at any given moment during test execution. How Does ARIA Work? ARIA ( Accessible Rich Internet Applications ) is a set of attributes that help improve accessibility by defining roles, states, and properties for elements that are not natively accessible. Example: In this case, the aria-label ensures that screen readers identify the button as “Submit Form.” How to Use ARIA Snapshots in Playwright? Playwright’s  accessibility.snapshot()   method retrieves the  accessible structure  of the page. Ex...

🔧 Self-Healing Selenium Automation with Java — A Smarter Way to Handle Broken Locators

  How to build smarter, more resilient automated tests? We’ve all been there — our Selenium test cases start failing because of minor UI changes like updated element IDs, renamed classes, or even reordered elements. It’s frustrating, time-consuming, and often the most dreaded part of maintaining automated tests. But what if your automation could heal itself? 💡 What is Self-Healing Automation? Self-healing automation  refers to the capability of a test automation framework to recover from minor UI changes by automatically trying alternative locators when the primary one fails. It’s like giving your test scripts a survival instinct. 🔨 🛠️ Implementation in Java + Selenium: Step by Step Step 1: Create a Self-Healing Wrapper We start by creating a custom class called SelfHealingDriver. This class wraps the standard WebDriver and handles locator failures gracefully. public   class   SelfHealingDriver { private   WebDriver driver ; public   SelfHealingDri...
