There is several good practices for creating locators/selectors. Using playwright there is official documentation for each common and unique selector on how-to and what-is doing.
More information in https://playwright.dev/docs/selectors#text-selector
About your case, i would suggest always to use an parent selector for locating an element. When there is a button, try to find its unique parent.
Example:
<dv id=test>
<button id=continue-test>Continue</button>
</div>
In this case you can use the unique id of the button and not the text.
Selector css: #continue-test
But if you, don't have an unique identifier for the button you can use the parent and go down to the button.
Selector css: #test > button
Matching text using css is not possible, but with XPATH can look like this:
//button[text()="Continue"]
This selector MATCHES the text using "equals".
Using playwright:
button:has-text("Continue")
Using has-text and quotes - matches the text using equals.
If you are using another selector for example text=Continue
, this will match all elements that CONTAINS the text "Continue"
All this is explained with example in the official documentation for playwright selectors. That does not mean to not use XPATH to achieve the goals.
CSS selectors are fast but kind of restricted to work with text.
Xpath is quite slower but much more powerful to work in text/parent/child elements etc.
I would suggest always to use an parent element with unique identifier and go down to reach your actual element, which will receive the interaction.

The web development industry is growing, and many Best Automated UI Testing Tools are available to test your web-based project to ensure it is bug-free and easily accessible for every user. These tools help you test your web project and make it fully compatible with user-end requirements and needs.
A productive workspace is crucial in crafting code rather than just finding the right IDE. After several generations of IDEs and code editors, Visual Studio Code is considered one of the best web development IDEs used by developers.
One of the biggest problems I’ve faced when building a test suite is not the writing of the tests but the execution. How can I execute 100s or 1000s of tests in parallel?If I try that on my local machine, it would probably catch fire – so we need a remote environment to send these to.
Ruby is a programming language which is well suitable for web automation. Ruby makes an excellent choice because of its clean syntax, focus on built-in library integrations, and an active community. Another benefit of Ruby is that it also allows other programming languages like Java, Python, etc. to be used in order to automate applications written in any other frameworks. Therefore you can use Selenium Ruby to automate any sort of application in your system and test the results in any type of testing environment
To decide what automation technology to use, we brought together Joe Colantonio, Founder of TestGuild, Sneha. V, Director of Quality Engineering, Everfi, and Carlos Kidman, Director of Engineering, Stealth Startup. The panel discussion was hosted by Mudit Singh, Marketing head at LambdaTest. Mudit decided to take a step backwards and let the panel discussion happen.
LambdaTest’s Playwright tutorial will give you a broader idea about the Playwright automation framework, its unique features, and use cases with examples to exceed your understanding of Playwright testing. This tutorial will give A to Z guidance, from installing the Playwright framework to some best practices and advanced concepts.
