How to find Xpaths using WebDriver Element Locator

Finding/Writing XPath is one of the greatest challenge that most of the automation testers come across. In this post I am going to introduce a new plugin before you which will help you in finding the right XPaths just by a click.

For downloading this plugin for Firefox > Navigate to below url:

Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/truepath/mgjhkhhbkkldiihlajcnlfchfcmhipmn

For the new one it looks like this:

Now I am sure that you have got much relief for the question:
