It comes in handy for checking the values that are being passed to the web server to diagnose bugs or just to get a better picture of what is going on with the application. I also use it to test the system by replacing values that are derived from dropdowns with ones that are much bigger or smaller than a user could enter via the web form. Sometimes this is useful for testing convenience (for instance, creating an enormous list that has everything you want for retrieval and analysis without having to page), or for security testing against threats from anyone with a proxy tool like this who could use it to try to hack the system. I'm sure I've only scratched the surface of its capabilities. Hi Mike – I’ve used Burp Proxy for years, and it is a great little utility.

What is your method for testing products on multiple operating systems and test environments? We do it with virtual machines.
