Launch IE

To launch Internet explorer

To run selenium webdriver in IE browser, we need InternetExplorerDriver which is a standalone server which implements WebDriver's wire protocol.

First of all, download latest version of IEDriver server for webdriver. You can download latest version server from Download InternetExplorerEDriver

Note: Choose the IEdriver server based on your working environment as there are two different zip files for both 32 and 64 bit IE . 

Save the downloaded file to your local machine.

In your code you need to set the system property for IE driver as

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

Script :

	public class LaunchIE {
	public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
	// TODO Auto-generated method stub
	// set the path of IE driver
	System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver","D:\\IEDriverServer.exe");
	WebDriver myTestDriver=new InternetExplorerDriver();
	myTestDriver.get("http://www.google.com");
	Thread.sleep(2000);
	myTestDriver.manage().window().maximize();
	Thread.sleep(7000);
	myTestDriver.close();
	}
	}
