Network Interception
A verification technique that captures a page's HTTP requests during testing and validates request parameters and response content, shifting the verification point from the UI layer down to the protocol layer.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Network interception is a compromise between the UI and the backend: a proxy or test framework captures the HTTP requests sent by the page and validates the request parameters and response content, thereby verifying whether the business action actually occurred without directly accessing the database.
Hard assertions are widely recognized as the most reliable, but implementation difficulty depends on the system architecture; for scenarios without backend access, developers recommend at least using network interception or file system checks as a compromise.
The downside of network-layer interception is that it may inadvertently affect other functions and requires ongoing maintenance of a blocklist.
