> The exemplified test case's MVC is not enough for the change to be merged, but it helps to build up the test logic. The reason is that we do not want to use locators directly in the tests, and tests **must** use [Page Objects] before they can be merged. This way we better separate the responsibilities, where the Page Objects encapsulate elements and methods that allow us to interact with pages, while the spec files describe the test cases in more business-related language.

In the `before` block we create all the application state needed for the tests to run. We do that by using the `Runtime::Browser.visit` method to go to the login page, by performing a `sign_in_using_credentials` from the `Login` Page Object, by fabricating resources via APIs (`issue`, and `Resource::Label`), and by using the `issue.visit!` to visit the issue page.
