- The Locators Lab features a user-friendly interface that makes it easy to access and identify element locators. Its functionality is highly accurate, and I found it superior to other similar tools.
- PARVEEN ARORA
- Nice and very helpful
- Swatik Panda
- The tool is excellent and captures most web elements accurately. However, I encountered issues when inspecting iframes and the elements inside the iframes are not being detected by the tool. Also, is it possible to use commands like Switchtoalert or Frame in the -> Test Locator Field. Thanks Naveen!
- Sagar Yadav
- feedback: when your tool gives locators can it be possible to show how many elements are visible by that same name? as when pasting it in test locators it gives result as 5 elements found.

- Dipak Chaudhari
- This extension is truly a game-changer for QA professionals. The standout feature for me is the generation of smart, dynamic locators. What makes it even more impressive is the ability to continuously add selected locators in bucket and ultimately generate the page object file—an aspect of automation testing that is often the most time-consuming and tedious. The thought process and implementation behind this extension and its features are remarkable. Kudos to Naveen for such an innovative and valuable tool. Outstanding work!

But your magic seems to be lighting the way forward, and I’m hopeful it’ll make my path smoother. I’ve practiced a couple of time with Locator Labs recently and found them surprisingly easy to use and very vivid in their approach. It’s been a refreshing experience. Grateful to you!
