Selenium Agent Operating Systems

Question

I'm new to Selenium testing, and I have question about browser agents.

I've written a script that I want to test with IE8 on XP, IE8 and IE9 on Windows 7. I know it is possible to define the version of the browser, but I don't know whether it is possible to define the OS version or not.

I'm asking this question because I'm using Selenium Grid on a CentOS box.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 2

You can define the OS by setting the Platform capability, like so

capability.setPlatform(“LINUX”);
