Application Inventory FAQs

The following are frequently asked questions about configuring and using Postman’s Application Inventory.

Why can’t Agent Mode generate Playwright UI tests from my Postman Collection?

Postman Collections describe how APIs behave, not how users interact with your application in a browser. Because of this, Agent Mode can’t generate Playwright UI tests from a collection by itself.

To generate Playwright UI tests, Agent Mode needs access to either your frontend code or a web application it can observe. You can do the following:

• Ask Agent Mode to generate Playwright tests based on your frontend implementation.
• Ask Agent Mode to use the Postman Browser Tool to observe user workflows and generate Playwright tests based on that behavior.

Make sure to connect your application repository to your Postman workspace in Local View.
