45+ selector patterns. Stability scoring. Playwright locators. Batch verification & page scanning.
Built for test automation engineers who need reliable locators — not guesswork.
Generates XPath and CSS selectors across 10+ categories — ID, class, attribute, text, parent-child, sibling, and more. Always gives you options.
Every selector gets a score from 0–100. Instantly see which locators are Stable, Moderate, or Fragile — so your tests don't break on the next deploy.
Native Playwright locators like getByRole, getByTestId, getByLabel, getByText — ready to copy into your test code.
XPath Forte doesn't just give you one XPath. It generates selectors across every useful strategy.
Click the extension icon to activate inspection mode. Hover over any element on the page to see its tag, ID, class, and attributes highlighted in real time. Click to select — and XPath Forte instantly generates every viable selector.
//button[@data-testid='submit-btn']
//button[@id='submitForm']
//form[@class='login']//button[1]
/html/body/div[3]/form/button
Every element gets analyzed through multiple selector strategies so you always have the best option available.
@id, @class, contains(@class)name, role, aria-label, data-testidtext(), contains(), starts-with()ancestor::, parent::, multilevelfollowing-sibling::, by tag+textclass+attr, ID+attr, name+attrXPath Forte generates CSS selectors alongside XPath, covering all the patterns your tests might need.
