There are multiple ways of doing it. Here's an article you might want to have a look.

Test WYSIWYG editors using Selenium WebDriver

Code snippets below are not tested, only provide the logic in Java.

• Send keys directly. Same as Richard's answer above.

inputWebDriver.switchTo().frame("input-data_ifr");
WebElement element = inputWebDriver.findElement(By.cssSelector("body"));
element.sendKeys("Send keys");

• Set innerHTML

inputWebDriver.switchTo().frame("input-data_ifr");
WebElement element = inputWebDriver.findElement(By.cssSelector("body"));
(JavascriptExecutor)driver.executeScript("arguments[0].innerHTML = '
Set text using innerHTML
'", element);

• Use TinyMCE's native API

// no need to switch iframe
(JavascriptExecutor)driver.executeScript("tinyMCE.activeEditor.setContent('
Native API text
 TinyMCE')");
