Using Chrome DevTools for software testing
Mostly, automation testers use developer tools to get the Xpaths of the element. These developer tools can be also useful in functional testing especially to figure out runtime errors, API errors, and some hidden errors in the web application. It is also useful to get network and console logs when you figure out the bug and reporting it to developers. All browser have their own developer tools but I have found chrome and firefox have more features though I didn't explore others.
