Postman has a command-line integration tool called Newman with which you can run any existing Postman collection.
Newman is a nodejs based package, which requires just a node environment to execute the collection and has full parity with the Postman collection runner i.e. the Newman collection runner supports the Postman capabilities like Running assertions, Pre-request scripts or any other scripts that are associated with the requests that are a part of the collection.
To use Newman:
<> You need to have node installed.
<> Now the Newman package needs to be installed through npm using the command.
npm install -g newman
<> The collection needs to be executed and the associated environment configuration should be first exported to its JSON form through the Postman application.
<> Now run the below command to run the Postman collection through Newman.
newman run {{path to collection json}} -e {{path to environment json if any}}

Postman Collections are a group of requests that you can save and organize into folders. Every request in Postman is logged into the history tab of the sidebar. When you want to re-use the request, you can find it from the history tab. On a small scale it's convenient but as postman usage scales then it becomes difficult to find the requests.
Postman Collections provide easier access to grouped requests.

Postman provides the ability to use different environments for API development and testing with the help of variables. A typical use of environment could be as:
1). You are testing your API against two environments: Dev and QA.
2). You have one variable consisting of a base URL in both environments.
3). Each request in the collection points to this base URL field.
4). Now, you can toggle the environments from environment drop-down to test API against both Dev and QA environments.
