Steps to
configure Selenium WebDriver environment
Download Java
Step 1: Navigate to www.oracle.com
Step 2: Click on Downloads and in the Popular Downloads click on Java for Developers
Step
3: Click on the Java Icon in the page as shown below
Step 4: From the list, select
appropriate version for OS. Say for Windows 64 select highlighted
Once Download is completed.
Start installing the Java
After Java is installed,
next step is to set the environment variables
Steps to setup Environment Variables
Navigate to path where
Java is installed and go to path until as below
C:\Program
Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_65\bin
Copy the above path and
Right click on MyComputer -> Properties. Click on Advanced System Settings
and click on “Environment Variables”. In the System Variables, paste the above
copied path and paste in the Path field. Click OK and Click OK

Download Selenium
WebDriver based on language in which you want to
use for Automation. Say you can use Java, C#, Ruby, Python etc. Most widely
used and famous is Selenium WebDriver with Java because Java is Platform
Independent
Below are the steps to
download Selenium WebDriver
Step 1: Navigate to www.seleniumhq.org
Step 2: Click on the Download tab in the Tab
Step 3: In the Selenium Client & WebDriver Language
Bindings, click on the Download
link adjacent to Java
Step 4: Once the download is
completed and extraction is done, below is how the folder contains
Libs folder contains few
more Executable Jar files.
Note: These jar files are
required while writing Selenium webDriver code in Eclipse IDE. We need to
assign these jar files to the Project
Download Eclipse IDE (Preferably Eclipse
LUNA)
Link to download Eclipse
LUNA
Note: Eclipse IDE is not a executable file. We need to go to the Folder
and click on the Eclipse Icon which is as shown below
Once we click on the Link, Eclipse IDE will be
opened, create a Workspace
After we create a Workspace, below
is the First Screen of Eclipse IDE
Steps to Create a New
Project
Click on the File ->
New Project
Select Java Project from
options available and Click on Next
Give the Project Name and
Click Finish
Project with Name given
above will be created and below is how it looks
Now In the Project Folder
we need to create below
1. Create Package by right click on the Project and Select New ->
Package. Fill Package Details and Click on
Create
Class inside Package by right click on the Package and Select New -> Class
and give the Class Name (Preferable Class Name should start with Upper Case. If
a Class Name contains more than one word, then every first character of the
word to be in Uppercase. Say Example LoginModule
After New class is created, Eclipse IDE will create default Java
Class template as below
1. Now we need to assign the Selenium WebDriver Java jar files which we
have downloaded in Step2 so as to make those classes available to the classes
in our Project which will help us to import the packages very easily
Steps are shown as below
Right click on the Project
and Click Properties option. Select Java Build Path and Click on the Add External
JARs… option. Navigate to the jars which we downloaded in Step 2 and Assign
those
Say Click on Add External Jars and Assign 2 selenium
Jars. Click on OK, then again click on Add External Jars and assign the Jars
which are in the libs folder. Then click on Ok and close.
Now the jars are assigned to the Project
In the Project, one more category
with name Referenced Libraries would be created which will have all the Jars
which we have assigned. Shown as below
That’s it Selenium WebDriver Configuration with Java using jars is completed.
