How to run your Selenium Test Scripts on IE Browser

In this blog, you’ll find out how to run your Selenium Test Scripts on IE Browser.
Internet Explorer implements the WebDriver protocol using Internet Explorer Driver Server. the web explorer Driver Server is that the link between your tests in Selenium and therefore the Internet Explorer Browser.
Let us consider a test suit during which we’ll attempt to automate the subsequent scenarios in IE browser.
• Launch IE browser.
• Open URL:www.google.com
• Maximize the browser.
• Type the worth “tecklearn”
• Click on the Search button.
We will create our fourth test suit within the same test suite (Demo_Test).
Step1. Right click on the “src” folder and make a replacement Class File from New > Class. Give your Class name as “Fourth” and click on on “Finish” button.

Step4. Set a system property “webdriver.ie.driver” to the trail of your IEDriverServer.exe file and instantiate an IEDriver class.
Here may be a sample code to try to to that.

1. // System Property for IEDriver
2. System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", "D:\\IE Driver Server\\IEDriverServer.exe");
3.
4. // Instantiate a IEDriver class.
5. WebDriver driver=new InternetExplorerDriver();
Step5. Now it's time to code. we've embedded comments for every block of code to elucidate the steps clearly.
1. import org.openqa.selenium.By;
2. import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
3. import org.openqa.selenium.ie.InternetExplorerDriver;
4.
5. public class Fourth {
6.
7. public static void main(String[] args) {
8.
9. // System Property for IEDriver
10. System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", "D:\\IE Driver Server\\IEDriverServer.exe");
11.
12. // Instantiate a IEDriver class.
13. WebDriver driver=new InternetExplorerDriver();
14.
15. // Launch Website
16. driver.navigate().to("http://www.google.com/");
17.
18. //Maximize the browser
19. driver.manage().window().maximize();
20.
21. // Click on the search text box and send value
22. driver.findElement(By.id("lst-ib")).sendKeys("tecklearn");
23.
24. // Click on the search button
25. driver.findElement(By.name("btnK")).click();
26.
27.
28. }
29.
30. }

Step6. Right click on the Eclipse code and choose Run As > Java Application.
