-# Style guide for writing GUI tests
-
-This document describes the conventions used at GitLab for writing GUI tests using the GitLab QA project.
-
-## `click_` versus `go_to_`
-
-### When to use `click_`?
-
-When clicking in a single link to navigate, use `click_`.
-
-E.g.:
-
-```ruby
-def click_ci_cd_pipelines
- within_sidebar do
- click_element :link_pipelines
- end
-end
-```
-
-From a testing perspective, if we want to check that clicking a link, or a button (a single interaction) is working as intended, we would want the test to read as:
-
-- Click a certain element
-- Verify the action took place
-
-### When to use `go_to_`?
-
-When interacting with multiple elements to go to a page, use `go_to_`.
-
-E.g.:
-
-```ruby
-def go_to_operations_environments
- hover_operations do
- within_submenu do
- click_element(:operations_environments_link)
- end
- end
-end
-```
-
-`go_to_` fits the definition of interacting with multiple elements very well given it's more of a meta-navigation action that includes multiple interactions.
-
-Notice that in the above example, before clicking the `:operations_environments_link`, another element is hovered over.
-
-> We can create these methods as helpers to abstract multi-step navigation. \ No newline at end of file
