![Selectors: User-Centric Locators
Prefer locators that reflect how a user perceives the UI, in this order of preference:
getByRole() — most preferred; matches semantic HTML roles
getByLabel() — for form fields
getByText() — for visible text content
getByTestId() — when a data-testid attribute exists
CSS attribute selectors (e.g., input[name="email"]) — only when no user-centric option is available
CSS class or XPath selectors — avoid entirely unless there is no other option
```
// Preferred
this.page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Save' })
this.page.getByLabel('Email address')
this.page.getByText('No results found')
// Acceptable fallback
this.page.locator('input[name="email"]')
// Avoid
this.page.locator('.btn-primary')
this.page.locator('//button[@class="save"]')](https://d8iqbmvu05s9c.cloudfront.net/vs2gcnpjiny4qm7zoubxk0uxqycd)
