 ## Selectors
 
+### Use contains() around text()
+
+When possible, use `contains(text(), 'someTextHere')` rather than `text()='someTextHere'`.
+`contains()` ignores whitespace while `text()` accounts for it.
+
+**Why?**
+If you are comparing text within a selector and have an unexpected space, or a blank line above or below the string, `text()` will fail while the `contains(text())` format will catch it.
+In this scenario `text()` is more exacting. Use it when you need to be very precise about what is getting compared.

 ## General tips
 
+### Use data references to avoid hardcoded values
+
+If you need to run a command such as  `<magentoCLI command="config:set" />`, do not hardcode paths and values to the command.
+Rather, create an appropriate `ConfigData.xml` file, which contains the required parameters for running the command.
+It will simplify the future maintanence of tests.
