Overview
HTTP traffic analysis is a core mobile testing skill because Android applications often rely on backend APIs for authentication, data retrieval, feature access, and account actions.
Traffic review helps reveal endpoint structure, request parameters, session handling, response behavior, and assumptions the client makes about server-side trust. It also helps testers separate local UI behavior from actual backend authorization decisions.
In this lab, you practice analyzing network communication from an Android application and connecting observed HTTP behavior to mobile application security review.
