Inspector Windows

The Inspector Windows tool provides a structured view into the live window environment of a desktop application. It enumerates windows, captures identifiers, class names, bounds, visibility, focus state, and memory usage, and presents a hierarchical model of parent-child relationships. It also records z-order placement and basic event bindings to support debugging and UI verification scenarios.

Conceptually, the tool relies on platform APIs to traverse the window tree, compute absolute coordinates, and aggregate metrics over time. It produces a machine-readable snapshot suitable for CI pipelines and QA workflows, with export options to JSON or CSV for integration with other tooling. The value lies in fast isolation of layout or stacking issues, validation of accessibility roles, and reproducible UI characterization across desktop runtimes.

Who benefits: developers debugging multi-window layouts, QA engineers verifying UI consistency, and accessibility specialists auditing window properties. Unique differentiators include a focused window-tree model, explicit z-order exposure, and event-binding visibility without altering application state, making it suitable for sensitive or production environments.
