gtkparasite is great for gtk+2, but unfortunately it won't work with gtk+3.

Is there any alternative?

If you are looking at all the possibilities that can resolve the problem, I suggest the following link which is about how to port gtkparasite to GTK3. Although it is a bit technical, the effort is successful.

    GTK3 is apparently now supported (since Oct 2013...), you need to compile it from source using the ./autogen.sh --with-gtk=3.0, make and sudo make install. The packaged fedora version still only supports GTK2 though :(

Yes, there's now an official GNOME tool called GtkInspector:

GtkInspector is the built-in interactive debugging support in GTK+. It was added in GTK+ 3.14, based on a copy of the well-estabished gtkparasite. To enable the debugger, either start your app with GTK_DEBUG=interactive in your environment, or run
gsettings set org.gtk.Settings.Debug enable-inspector-keybinding true and launch the debugger with the Control-Shift-I or Control-Shift-D keyboard shortcuts.
