Addendum #03 – Simplifying API testing using basic authentication

Time for another addendum to my book: simplifying API testing.

Errata and Updates to my book and GitHub project (2nd edition)

Like any other kind of project writing and publishing a book never leads to a 100% flawless result, whatever the level of commitment and professionalism. My peers and I have spent so much time in getting things reviewed and modified. Alas, it might seem useless but of course isn’t. I am grateful we did catch...
