Description

There are various tools around which help inspecting application that should be ui tested or automated. Some of them are:

• VisualUIAVerify
• Inspect
• UISpy
• and probably others Most of them are old and sometimes not very stable and (if open source), a code mess to maintain.

FlaUInspect is supposed to be a modern alternative, based on FlaUI.

On startup, you can choose if you want to use UIA2 or UIA3 (see FAQ why you can't use both at the same time).
