Proxy breakpoint

Also called: Breakpoint (Charles/Proxyman)

Pausing a request or response in a proxy tool so you can edit it before it continues.

Definition

Breakpoints in Charles or Proxyman let testers change prices, status codes or fields on the fly to see how the app and server react. Not the same as a responsive layout breakpoint.

In practice

You pause the order request, change the total to 0.01 and see whether the server trusts it.
