Here are the benefits of DOM Snitch:

Real-time: Developers can observe DOM modifications as they happen inside the browser without the need to step through JavaScript code with a debugger or pause the execution of their application.
Easy to use: With built-in security heuristics and nested views, both advanced and less experienced developers and testers can quickly spot areas of the application being tested that need more attention.
Easier collaboration: Enables developers to easily export and share captured DOM modifications while troubleshooting an issue with their peers.

DOM Snitch is intended for use by developers, testers, and security researchers alike. Click here to download DOM Snitch. To read the documentation, please visit this page.

*Developers and testers should be aware that DOM Snitch is currently experimental. We do not guarantee that it will work flawlessly for all web applications. More details on known issues can be found here or in the project’s issues tracker.
