How to open different browsers in Selenium

We will the Java code in which we try to open different browsers.

1. Firefox - For this you need to install forefox browser on your machine. If you are using Selenium version 3.0 or higher than you need to download Gekodriver

public void OpenBrowser()
{
     FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
     driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);
     driver.get("http://localhost");
}

2. Chrome and IE browser - You need to download the chromedriver and IEdriver from Selenium website.

public void OpenBrowser()
{
     System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","Path to chromedriver.exe");
     driver = new ChromeDriver();
    // You can read more about Chrome Profile and capability options over internet.
}

public void OpenBrowser()
{
     System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver","Path to IEDriverServer.exe");
     driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
   
}

For Firefox browser, you need to assure that Selenium and Firefox version should be compatible. You can check the compatibility on internet.
