Overview
Response code manipulation is a mobile testing scenario where the client reacts to backend responses in ways that may expose weak authorization or fragile application logic.
If an Android app treats a status code or response flag as the final source of truth, testers need to understand whether the backend also enforces the same decision. Secure systems should validate access server-side instead of relying on the client to interpret responses honestly.
In this lab, you practice analyzing mobile API responses and reasoning about how response handling can affect authentication, authorization, and feature access.
