Does packet analyzer exist in TestComplete?
Hi everyone! Does packet analyzer exist in TestComplete? Can I analyse and parse for example http-packets using TestComplete?

Hi Atti,
TestComplete is a functional testing tool but not network traffic debugger, so I am pretty sure nothing will be changed here.
What is your actual task?
Hi Alex,
Thanks for your response and your time.
In a more detailed description here is what happens on the project.
We use Oracle SQL both on server and client side.
We have a desktop app that sends requests and expects responses from the server.
These responses do come in XML format as you said.
The functionality that I would need is to stop the network traffic so that for example a request is not sent (intercept it) parse it, verify some values in certain tags, modify values and after send it to the server. The same when receiving responses from the server. We would like to intercept it, like a pause functionality, get the XML values check tag values modify and send it to the client afterwords.
Please let me know if you need more detailed specifications.
Please also bear in mind that I am new to this 
and when you give an answer some source where to read up on some solutions would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Atti
Hi Atti,
Is it http(s) protocol that is used by your application to communicate with the server or some other one?
Also, what is the purpose of the request and response modifications? Initially it looked like some sort of API or load testing, though intermediate traffic modifications may be a kind of security check as well.
Hi Alex,
It is an HTTP protocol that is used. We need to alter the responses from server or the request from client to simulate various error behavior and other needed testing.
In future it will be ran through an API bu at the moment is not.
Thank you.
Atti.
