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"]')

Write an agents.md file that improves AI-created test output and can be used for review before PR
