Breakpoints

• Breakpoints option for edit requests and responses before through Charles.
• Use for change or edit parameters on requests and responses.
• Easy to use; just right-click to the endpoint and select the Breakpoints option.
• When you repeat the selected service again that time you can see Edit Response and Edit Request options.
• Select Edit Response or Edit Request option and click Headers/Json Text or which part you want to edit.

How do we use Breakpoints?

• If you click Edit Response you can see URL, Headers, JSON Text and others dawn on the page. When you click JSON Text you can see the request’s body and parameters. You can delete existing parameters, add new parameters or change the parameter’s values.

• If you click Edit Response you can see Headers, JSON Text and others dawn on the page. When you click JSON Text you can see the response’s body and parameters. You can delete existing parameters, add new parameters or change the parameter’s values.
• If you want to try a specific error case and error message that time you should change the response’s status to 400,404,403 or 500. And add an error message to the response’s body.
• If you want to fail this response or request just click the Abort option. That time you should see response status is failed.
