+- Use a helper method if the operation is meant to return a Ruby object that interacts with the application.
+  - For example, an `admin_user` helper method that returns `User.where(admin: true).first`, which can then be used like `login_as(admin_user)`.
+- Use a command if the operation fits one of the following:
+  - A utility operation that performs non-Ruby related tasks, such as IRB's `edit` command.
+  - Displays information, like the `show_source` command.
+  - If the operation requires non-Ruby syntax arguments, like `ls -g pattern`.
