Challenges to face run selenium sripts in IE Browser

1)Path of the IE Driver

The path to the driver executable must be set by the webdriver.ie.driver system property; for more information, see http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/InternetExplorerDriver. The latest version can be downloaded from http://selenium-release.storage.googleapis.com/index.html

Class IE

{

Public static void main(String args[])

{

WebDriver t=new InternetExplorerDriver();

t.get(“”);

}

}

This Error happened because of there is no third browser in your system,you have to download the IE third party browser from the site seleniumhq.org

Filename:IEDriverServer.exe 32 bit or 64 bit

public class IE {

public static void main(String[] args) {

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver","D:\\IEDriverServer_x64_3.14.0\\IEDriverServer.exe");

WebDriver t=new InternetExplorerDriver();

t.get("https://www.seleniumhq.org/");
