Description

WDebug was developed to simplify writing, supporting and debugging locators (xpath, css selector, etc) for webdriver.

With this tool you can add, edit and remove locators during your automation script execution. Integrate tool with your framework - and you'll be able to save changed locators.

Tool uses facebook/webdriver bindings for PHP.

See WDebug tool integrated with custom framework in action on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-PTAFEce60.
