Retrieve the content of meta description from web-page using selenium webdriver

Want to get the content of meta description of page using webdriver.

Let say , from below DOM want to retrieve text Test.com provides a complete software solution for creating online tests and managing enterprise and specialist certification programs, in up to 22 languages

<script src="content/js/jquery.min.js">
<meta content="Test.com provides a complete software solution for creating online tests and managing enterprise and specialist certification programs, in up to 22 languages." name="description">
<meta content="Test.com" name="keywords">

you could also try for

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@name='description']"))
      .getAttribute("content")

You're trying to get an attribute value, so instead of getText() use getAttribute() :

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//meta[@name='description']"))
      .getAttribute("content")
