Hi Jacqueline,
In earlier iterations of Selenium, it was necessary to furnish the driver with the executable path for running automated tests on the designated browser. External tools like WebDriverManager were employed to automate the manual task of keeping browser drivers up to date.
The introduction of Selenium Manager in version 4.6.0 marked a significant advancement. This feature alleviates a substantial burden for automation test engineers by managing browser drivers internally, eliminating the need for manual intervention in driver management.
