 ## Usage
 
 ### Testing the DOM
-When calling a route in a test you might want to make sure that the view contains certain elements. To test this you can use the `->assertElementExists()` method on the test response.
+When calling a route in a test you might want to make sure that the view contains certain elements. To test this, you can use the `->assertElementExists()` method on the test response or the alias `assertElement()`.
 The following will ensure that there is a body tag in the parsed response. Be aware that this package assumes a proper html structure and will wrap your html in a html, head and body tag if they are missing!

 $this->get('/some-route')

 ### Testing forms
 Testing forms allows using all the dom asserts from above, but has a few special helpers to help test for forms.
-Instead of using `->assertElementExists()` we will use `->assertFormExists()` method on the test response.
+Instead of using `->assertElementExists()` you can use `->assertFormExists()`, or the alias `assertForm()` on the test response.
