Is there a postman plugin for automatic testing in tfs build agent in place?

Question

The postman chrome extension https://www.getpostman.com is a well-known test client for testing the REST API. I know that they have released a command line tool called "newman" (currently in version 2.1.1 and can be installed using npm).

I am wondering if any authority is trying to use this command line tool to test the REST API from the automatic testing step on the built-in TFS build agent (assuming the API server environment is already configured).

Any help is appreciated.

Just tested in TFS 2015.2, it's easy to call the newman tool in the vNext assembly. You only need to add two stages of assembly: npmand Command Line:

In my example, I get a list of newman options (newman -h). You can also check other options in this article: https://github.com/postmanlabs/newman
