Code snippet - Selenium - Using different web drivers

Selenium: Using different web drivers

This code negates the need to compile the driver into the test, allowing a system variable to control the class used. This example uses PhantomJS.

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

        //PhantomJS 1.9.8 works
        String driver = "org.openqa.selenium.phantomjs.PhantomJSDriver";

        Class cls = Class.forName(driver);
        webDriver = (WebDriver)cls.newInstance();
