title: Any easier way for finding selectors, while building Appium test framework for Cordova iOS app
body: <p>I am working on automating a iOS app using Appium-Java.</p>
  
  <p>While writing the Page objects we need to find identifiers (<code>driver.findelement</code>) or when UI changes.</p>
  
  <p>Currently its tedious job, as manually need to traverse through till required screen &amp; then write the selectors( n CSS / XPath / XCUnit based Xpath)</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Currently, there's no easy way to test CSS selectors / XPath (unlike web where we can test it then &amp; there on Firefox / chrome using browser add-ons)</p></li>
  <li><p>Is there any way to invoke certain screen directly instead of traversing from the starting point in iOS/Android native app or Cordova based app, while writing the selectors?</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Kindly advise. Thanks.</p>
