Testers

Spider may be of awesome help for developers!

Use cases​

  • System discovery
  • Check test calls and services fan out when coding automated tests
  • Check IOT / devices calls to the system simplifying instrumentation
  • Understand services fan out
    • Check security tokens in the fan out
  • Confirm performance issues on long calls

Tips​

  • Use View Options to see 'logical' calls
  • Filter with the client/device identification you're working on
  • Limit to specific timestamp (zoom on timeline) for faster queries
  • Use token decoding plugins to check client rights
  • Use sequence diagram to confirm inner processing times
  • Save links to tracking tickets / export coms for developers to see and debug issues
    • Avoid misunderstanding when transmitting / describing issues
  • Export your result to compare later
  • Use the captured flows to generate automatic requests
