This step asserts that an element identified by its visible label text exists and is visible on the current page. It takes one quoted argument: the label text of the element you expect to see, matched exactly. If the matched text is a form label with a for attribute, the step follows that attribute and waits for the associated form control to become visible instead, which makes it a natural fit for checking that form fields are present.
The step waits up to 3 seconds for the element to become visible before failing. You can write a or an before the quoted label; both are accepted. To find elements by an attribute such as id, name, or class rather than by label text, use the "element by attribute" variant instead.
