```
    This method should return true if the attribute is meaningful to the user, i.e. can be visually detected by the user when examining the SUT. Attributes that are invisible (e.g. HTML name and id) should return false.
  - isNotVisible
```
public final boolean isNotVisible()
```
  - compareTo
```
public int compareTo(Attribute other)
```
    Specified by:
    
    compareTo in interface Comparable<Attribute>
