Hi Community members, 👋

With the update to Katalon Studio 10.0.0, the DriverFactory has been refactored for better performance. In this refactoring, the commands for DriverFactory have been changed to be browser specific.

Before, in version 9.x and lower, you could call the driver path as such:

```auto
DriverFactory.getChromeDriverPath()

DriverFactory.getGeckoDriverPath()

DriverFactory.getEdgeChromiumDriverPath()

DriverFactory.getEdgeDriverPath()

```

However, in Katalon Studio 10.0.0, the drivers have been assigned their own `Util` class, and therefore have new methods for pulling the drivers. Below are the updated driver methods: 👇

#### Google Chrome

```auto
import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.driver.chrome.ChromeDriverUtil

String chromeDriverPath = ChromeDriverUtil.getChromeDriverPath()

```

#### Mozilla Firefox

```auto
import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.driver.firefox.FirefoxDriverUtil

String firefoxDriverPath = FirefoxDriverUtil.getDriverPath()

```

#### Microsoft Edge Chromium

```auto
import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.driver.edge.EdgeDriverUtil

String edgeChromiumDriverPath = EdgeDriverUtil.getEdgeChromiumDriverPath()

```

#### Microsoft Edge [Legacy](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/what-is-microsoft-edge-legacy-3e779e55-4c55-08e6-ecc8-2333768c0fb0)

```auto
String edgeLegacyDriverPath = EdgeDriverUtil.getEdgeDriverPath()

```

> ℹ **Notes:**
> 
> - Please note that this version of Microsoft Edge is no longer supported by Microsoft.
