Tips for Writing Steps

1. Use visible text: Write the exact words you see on the button, link, or input label (e.g. Click 'Submit', Type into 'First Name').
2. Keep each step focused: Do one action per act line (e.g. type text first, then click button on the next line).
3. Validate key milestones: Add a validate step after important transitions (like form submissions or page changes).
