To limit the test to the login form, we can set the context using a CSS selector on the ID of the login form like this:
I.see("Please log in ") // this runs on the entire page
UI.context("#login-form", function(){ // the following commands runs on the login form on
I.fill("username", "hello@uilicious.com")
I.fill("password", "password")
I.click("login")
