Getting Browser details using Selenium web driver 2.0

Browser capabilities:

Getting Browser details in selenium is quite easy. Using this we can run our scripts across various machines, various OS, and various browsers (It will be explained in Selenium Grid concept).

Include these two packages into your script

import org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.Capabilities;

Add the snippet in your script.

Capabilities cap = ((RemoteWebDriver) driver).getCapabilities();

String browserName = cap.getBrowserName().toLowerCase();

System.out.println(browserName);

String os = cap.getPlatform().toString();

System.out.println(os);

String v = cap.getVersion().toString();

System.out.println(v);
