From the course: Selenium Essential Training

Get set up

- [Narrator] I'll be using the four following tools that you will need to download and set up, if you want to follow along with the exercises throughout this course. First up, there is the Java SE Development Kit, or the JDK. The JDK provides the environment to build and run Java programs. The JDK also includes useful tools for developing and testing programs written in Java. All tests will be written and run in IntelliJ, which is a Java integrated development environment. It is developed by JetBrains, and is available for free with the Apache 2 License Community Edition. All tests will be run in Chrome, with the use of ChromeDriver. ChromeDriver is the browser driver that runs Selenium WebDriver tests in Chrome. There are a few other tools I'll be using that I included with the exercise files already. Those are Maven, which is the dependency management tool for Java, the Selenium WebDriver, language bindings for Java, and Junit, as the assertion library. Since they are already included, you won't need to worry about doing anything in order to use these tools. Before continuing with the course, I encourage you to stop, download, and setup the JDK, IntelliJ, and Chrome, and ChromeDriver. I've included some instructions that you can refer to that will guide you along in the set up process.
