As of the date of this post the name 'Microsoft Edge' has just been officially announced as the default browser for the new Windows 10.
It may be premature to ask but I would like to know if a new Selenium WebDriver is available for it and if not, if there is any telling how long we might expect to wait until we see one developed?

(A technical preview of Windows 10 has already been out so this doesn't seem like a foolish question to me.)

Yes, there is a WebDriver implementation for Microsoft Edge. Its initial availability was announced on 23 July 2015. Language bindings in the Selenium open source project have been updated to take advantage of this driver implementation, and those updates have been released in Selenium 2.47. Note that the Java language bindings were re-released as 2.47.1 to correct an initial issue. The initial implementation has limited functionality, but Microsoft is committed to bringing a fully functional driver implementation to fruition, so updates will be forthcoming.
EJoshuaSMicrosoft has provided MicrosoftWebDriver which can be used for Edge browser.
Correct version of MicrosoftWebDriver needs to be downloaded, based on the OS Build number
Go to Start > Settings > System > About and note down the OS Build number.
Download the proper version of the driver from this link - https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/webdriver/
If the file that's downloaded is .msi, then install it to get the .exe driver. For one of the release, direct .exe can be downloaded.
Once the MicrosoftWebDriver.exe is downloaded, we can use it in our test script using either System.setProperty('webdriver.edge.driver', 'driver location') or using environment variable
The sample script would be like this -

'in case it wasn't clear, Microsoft Edge will have WebDriver support. It isn't available today, but is in development Q's? #msedgesummit' tweet from John Jansen the who is - 'Microsoft Engineer. Principal Software Engineer (nee Test) Lead on Project Spartan (nee Internet Explorer).'You can find him on twitter @thejohnjansen and wait for an announcement :)
The Microsoft Edge driver for Selenium can be automatically downloaded (for Java) using the library webdrivermanager as follows:
The variable webdriver.edge.driver is also exported by webdrivermanager with the proper path of MicrosoftWebDriver.exe.
Boni GarcíaBoni GarcíaAs of EdgeHTML version 18 (which arrived with Windows version 1809), there is no longer a standalone driver download. You can obtain the new driver in one of two ways:
- Start - type 'Manage optional features' - Click 'Add a Feature' - Find 'WebDriver'
- Entering the following on an elevated command prompt - 'DISM.exe /Online /Add-Capability /CapabilityName:Microsoft.WebDriver~~~~0.0.1.0'

Legacy versions are still available from: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/webdriver/
Prerequisite: Windows 10 is installed on your machine
- Download the specified Microsoft WebDriver server version for your build (In my case it is MicrosoftWebDriver.exe for the Operating System: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit (10.0, Build 14393))
Selenium WD Java code for MS Edge is as follows:
System.setProperty('webdriver.edge.driver', 'D:RiponMicrosoftWebDriver.exe');
driver = new EdgeDriver();

Thanks for your help, I was blocked with my tests, searching for a 'EdgeDriver.exe' asked by the selenium EdgeDriver implementation and only find the MicrosoftWebDriver.
I have made this in C# if this can help someone, based on your previous answers :
First, you need to download the MicrosoftWebDriver nuget package, this one will only make a copy of the MicrosoftWebDriver.exe into your destination folder on compilation then
Hope this can help someone.
