get by xpath between selenium and telerik test

[AutomationTester]

I am trying to click a menu items in a span as attached in a screenshot. The same below code to find an item by XPath works in selenium but not in telerik testing framework. Can some one tell me why?

--Telerik Code that does not work. Gives null menu.

  Element menu = myManager.ActiveBrowser.Find.ByXPath("//span[contains(text(),'some text')]");

myManager.ActiveBrowser.Actions.Click(menu);

---Selenium code that works. 

driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//span[contains(text(),'some text')]")).Click();

Hello Ujjwal,

Telerik Testing Framework is not relying on Xpaths. Moreover we do not recommend using Xpath since it could get changed with every app update. Telerik Testing Framework uses an intelligent  element identification scheme to locate the elements.

Here you could find further details about find expressions. I guess the following article will be useful for your reference as well. 

I hope the above information will help you to find the most appropriate approach to design your Telerik tests. Thanks!

Hi Ujjwal,

I am not familiar with Sencha Ext-JS and could not provide any useful details. However I am sure you will find the best approach for your requirements!
