🎁 Opinion

• We should use what users will see, instead of the source code of HTML.
• The HTML is an essential factor to test.
  • We should align the HTML tag, CSS for testing. If it's different from a similar page, the testing is tough.
  • We should use the correct name in HTML to support easy testing.
• Using find('label[for="model_attributes"]' is better than XPath, because this way is simulate the users way.
