Why QA and Engineering Managers Love ProxyCeptor (Proxy Ceptor)

Every development team has wasted days on these exact friction points.

✕ The Frustrating Old Way
✕
Charles Proxy certificate hell on Smart TVs:
Spending 2 hours installing custom root SSL certificates on Android TV, Fire TV sticks, or webOS just to see one network call.
✕
Begging backend devs for mock data:
"Can you set user #102 wallet balance to negative?" or "Can you fail OTP on staging?" Backend devs lose 30 minutes deploying fake data stubs.
✕
"Cannot reproduce" bug arguments:
QA files a Jira ticket. Developer tries to test it 3 days later, says "Works on localhost", and closes the ticket.
✕
Out-of-sync proxy configs:
Every tester has their own broken Charles rewrite file exported 3 months ago. Nobody has the same rules.
✓ With ProxyCeptor
✓
Zero SSL certificates on TVs:
Add a single script tag or Chrome extension. Intercepts fetch, XHR, and beacon calls directly inside the app.
✓
QA mocks edge cases independently:
Toggle "Return 500 error", add 2,000ms delay, or change JSON fields on the fly. Zero backend code changes needed.
✓
Bug tickets with complete proof:
Export a single HTML Session Replay. Contains user clicks, full network requests, and console errors synced together.
✓
Team rule sync in real time:
Engineering Manager updates a rule profile in the cloud dashboard. All 10 testers in Bangalore and devs in Pune get the new rules instantly.

Real-World Testing Scenarios Made Easy

How teams test edge cases that used to take half a day to set up.

OTT & Video Streaming

Smart TV CDN Overrides & Telemetry Beacons

Point video players to test HLS streams on living-room TVs without recompiling. Inspect beacon analytics and video start times (VST) directly without terminal ADB logs.

E-Commerce & Food Delivery

Payment Gateway Timeouts & Out-of-Stock

Simulate payment gateway drops on checkout, test coupon code limit errors, and verify address service timeouts before big festival sale days.

Fintech & Consumer Apps

KYC Failures & OTP Retry Limits

Test server 500 errors on Aadhaar/PAN upload screens, simulate expired session tokens, and ensure fallback retry banners render accurately.

⚡ 2-Minute Quickstart

Plug into Smart TVs or Web in 2 Minutes

Add one script tag to your TV app, web app, or install the Chrome DevTools extension. Point it to your team's workspace API key and start intercepting network traffic instantly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Honest answers for engineering managers and QA leads.

Do we need to install SSL certificates on test phones or TVs?

No. proxyceptor works inside the JavaScript layer (monkey-patching fetch, XHR, and sendBeacon) or via Chrome's native declarativeNetRequest API. You never need to touch system Wi-Fi proxy settings or install certificates.

Does our company's API data get uploaded to the cloud?

No. All network requests and responses are intercepted and modified locally inside the browser or device. Only the rule definitions (e.g. URL pattern and mock JSON) are stored in your workspace.

Can manual and non-technical QA testers use this?

Yes. The web dashboard has simple forms: enter the URL, pick "Return 500" or paste the mock response, and toggle it on. QA testers do not need command-line tools or terminal knowledge.

What happens if the proxy rule has a bug or syntax error?

Safety is guaranteed: if any mock JSON fails to parse or a rule throws an exception, the SDK catches it safely, logs a warning, and falls back to the original unmodified network request. Your page never crashes.
