Selenium WebDriver

Download and Configure WebDriver with Eclipse

Steps

  • Add the Selenium Java dependency to your Maven pom.xml (or manually download the Selenium jars and add them to the build path).
  • Download the browser-specific driver executable (e.g., ChromeDriver) matching your installed browser version.
  • Set the driver's system property in code, or place it on the system PATH.
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path/to/chromedriver");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

Verifying the Setup

Run a simple script that opens a browser and navigates to a URL — if the browser opens and loads the page, WebDriver is correctly configured.
