To declare Desired Capabilities in Selenium automation testing using Grid, we can use the setCapability method from the DesiredCapabilities class to set the different types of capabilities of the browser (Ex. Chrome, IE, Firefox, Edge) platform name (Ex. Windows, macOS, etc.).

  • What is Selenium EdgeDriver? Microsoft offers Microsoft WebDriver to execute the Selenium WebDriver automation tests on the Edge browser. Additionally, the driver allows the selenium tests to communicate with the Edge browser for executing Selenium tests.
  • Once the Power Automate Desktop installer completes, go to Microsoft Edge store or Google Chrome store depending on the browser you are using and install Microsoft Windows recorder (V1) and Selenium IDE browser extensions and Enable extensions. Continue after you've installed the extension. Select the Record app card to expand it.

Microsoft introduced a new browser called “Microsoft Edge” with their Windows 10 release. Now Microsoft edge is the default browser for the Windows 10.

For an example below is a very simple code we can use to automate internet explorer. Imovie for 10.11. It will open the Internet explorer window and navigate to the http://www.example.com. So can we do a similar program for Microsoft Edge?

Also note that internet explorer is also a built in component in Windows 10. So if you want to use the Internet explorer then you don’t need to install anything. You can readily use it. Also it is possible to develop web scraping programs inside Excel in Windows 10 for Internet explorer like in other Windows versions. However some users are having problems finding this feature. If you also have difficulty finding the Internet explorer, simply follow these steps.
