WebDriver enables developers to create automated tests that simulate user interaction. This is different from JavaScript unit tests because WebDriver has access to functionality and information that JavaScript running in the browser doesn't, and it can more accurately simulate user events or OS-level events. WebDriver can also manage testing across multiple windows, tabs and webpages in a single test session.

Here's how to get started with WebDriver for Microsoft Edge (EdgeHTML).

Microsoft

The Microsoft Edge (EdgeHTML) implementation of WebDriver supports both the W3C WebDriver specification and the JSON Wire Protocol for backwards compatibility with existing tests.
