  3. 3Write and run a test that demonstrates: query by text with cy.contains.
  4. 4Finish with at least one assertion on a user-visible outcome, not an internal detail.

Acceptance criteria

  • The test runs to completion without errors.
  • The test contains at least one passing assertion on a user-visible outcome.
