This is the hardest to learn but most efficient plug in to test your locators. you need to know how to write the locators. but it is the best way of verifying that the locators you write actually match and only match the things you want. The Auto generated locators are trash as all other plug ins done are, but its great tool to check your human made locators. lacks syntax linter or polish but is my favorite regardless.
