Simple continuous integration with Appveyor and Newman

Posted in Building future-proof software, Productivity, and Tutorials

Last month, I posted about Postman enabling you to test your APIs with little effort so that you can build future-proof software. Here we are going to cover setting up continuous integration for a simple project by using Newman to run your Postman collections. You may have heard about continuous integration in the past. Most commonly, continuous integration will build software from one’s changes before or after merging them into the main codebase. Even though there is an infinity of tools that allow implementing continuous integration, I will focus on Appveyor CI. In order to make things simple, I will create a very basic web API project and will host it on GitHub.
