CSS selectors perform far better than Xpath and it is well documented in Selenium community. Here are some reasons, Xpath engines are different in each browser, hence make them inconsistent IE does not have a native xpath engine, therefore selenium injects its own xpath engine for compatibility of its API.

Have tried many things with respect to scroll, but the below code has provided better results. This will scroll until the element is in view: WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id(“id_of_element”)); ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript(“arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);”, element); Thread.sleep(500); //do anything you want with the element
Try following XPath and let me know if problem still persist: //div[@id=”avg_score_chart”]//*[name()=”svg”] For <g> elements: //div[@id=”avg_score_chart”]//*[name()=”svg”]/*[name()=”g”] Update Finally, this should be nearly the best option: //div[@class=”portlet light boxshadow”][contains(.,”Store Wise Performance”)]/div//div[@class=”amcharts-chart-div”]/*[name()=”svg”]//*[name()=”g”]/*[name()=”path” and @fill=”rgb(242,244,28)”]

WebDriver provides a platform and language-neutral wire protocol as a way for out-of-process programs to remotely instruct the behavior of web browsers, hence instruction sets that can be run interchangeably in many browsers.
