Question: How to open a new tab using Selenium WebDriver with Java? Answer: After click on any link open new tab. If we want to handle newly open tab then we have need to handle tab using.switchTo.window command. Switch to particular tab then perform operation and switch back to into parent tab. If you want to open a link on the current view in a new tab then the code you've written above can be used. Instead of By.linkText make sure you use the appropriate By selector class to select the web element. I had used the below code to open a new tab in the browser using C# selenium. 2019-5-22 Question: How to open a new tab using Selenium WebDriver with Java?

Downloads
Below is where you can find the latest releases of all the Selenium components. You can also find a list of previous releases, source code, and additional information for Maven users (Maven is a popular Java build tool).
Selenium Standalone Server
The Selenium Server is needed in order to run Remote Selenium WebDriver. Selenium 3.X is no longer capable of running Selenium RC directly, rather it does it through emulation and the WebDriverBackedSelenium interface.
Download version 3.141.59
To run Selenium tests exported from the legacy IDE, use the Selenium Html Runner.
To use the Selenium Server in a Grid configuration see the wiki page.
Open New Tab In Safari
The Internet Explorer Driver Server
This is required if you want to make use of the latest and greatest features of the WebDriver InternetExplorerDriver. Please make sure that this is available on your $PATH (or %PATH% on Windows) in order for the IE Driver to work as expected.
Download version 3.14.0 for (recommended) 32 bit Windows IE or 64 bit Windows IE
CHANGELOG
Selenium Client & WebDriver Language Bindings
In order to create scripts that interact with the Selenium Server (Selenium RC, Selenium Remote WebDriver) or create local Selenium WebDriver scripts, you need to make use of language-specific client drivers. These languages include both 1.x and 2.x style clients.
While language bindings for other languages exist, these are the core ones that are supported by the main project hosted on GitHub.
