Locator Finder

About

Locator Finder is a powerful Chrome extension designed to help developers and QA engineers generate high-quality, reliable locators for web automation. Stop wasting time manually inspecting the DOM and writing fragile XPath or CSS selectors. Locator Finder simplifies this critical part of the automation workflow, enabling you to create robust test scripts quickly and efficiently.

The Problem with Traditional Locators

Web applications are dynamic. Class names change, attributes are added or removed, and the structure of the DOM can be updated frequently. This makes traditional, brittle locators a primary source of flaky tests. Locator Finder addresses this challenge by providing a smart, multi-strategy approach to element identification.

The Locator Finder Solution

Our extension analyzes a selected web element and suggests a range of optimized locators, allowing you to choose the one that best suits your testing framework and application. We generate multiple strategies for each element, ensuring you have options that are both effective and resilient.

Key Features

Instant Locator Generation: With a single click or hover, get a list of suggested locators for any element on a webpage. This includes CSS Selectors, XPath, ID, Class Name, and more.


Multi-Strategy Output: View multiple locator options side-by-side to choose the best fit for your test automation needs. See CSS, XPath, and text-based locators all in one place.

One-Click Copy: Copy any suggested locator directly to your clipboard, ready to be pasted into your Selenium, Playwright, or Cypress test scripts.
