You must be thinking why I am saying SelectorsHub is a must have tool though this is just an XPath plugin?

Yes you are absolutely right..

Let me share some of my real time project experience which I can’t imagine solving easily without SelectorsHub.

?Those who are not aware “SelectorsHub is a free browser plugin which helps to generate, write and verify the XPath & cssSelector.”

1. My project has lots of shadow doms and writing/verifying locators for shadow dom elements is like a nightmare. There was no tool which supported shadow dom.

Then SelectorsHub came into the picture and made it possible to write & generate selectors for shadow dom elements just in a single click. Now it has increased my productivity like anything. Good part is it also gives the script to handle shadow dom elements.

2. Our script used to fail in 90% of the cases due to locators issue and while debugging script we used to waste a lot of time in verifying XPath whether it is actually 0 match or syntax error.

In this case, SelectorsHub error handling feature comes as a boon and gives the exact info like what is missing in XPath and gives the correct match count.

3. As we all are scared of losing XPath skills while using a tool, I must say this tool has changed this concept.?

Now using this tool we can learn all about XPath & Selectors and become the expert in XPath writing. It’s smart editor feature helps a lot to learn different selectors functions and error handling feature helps a lot to learn different errors of selectors which was never possible before.

4. Another big advantage, it is the only tool which supports nested iframe, svg etc.

5. It generates the unique relative XPath & CSS Selector.

6. It has many other advantages like it has 24/7 support.

7. It used to get regular updates and we can reach out to the creator who is very active to support and take the feature request on priority.

8. It is available for all browsers with similar functionality so no need to learn new tools and the same we can use.
