API reviews
Before shipping any major feature we try and do a basic API review to make sure no unnecessary API calls are being made by the app. Doing this is as easy as connecting the devices to Charles Proxy and observing and recording the API calls.
Charles Proxy is helpful in finding security bugs & loopholes. During API reviews this tool can help provide such insights:
Verifying if API is working properly. This means that when we do an API call, what headers are sent and is the response correct with correct headers as expected.
Debug if API response is incorrect.
Checking if any redundant API or web requests made.
For eg., We had an API to save some details on our backend. While testing the API on Charles Proxy, we came to know that the API call was being made multiple times which lead to false app behaviour. Once detected, we asked the developers to make the necessary changes.
