As you saw in the tests' pre-conditions and the optimization sections, we're already creating some of these resources, and we are doing that by calling the `fabricate_via_api!` method.
> We could be using the `fabricate!` method instead, which would use the `fabricate_via_api!` method if it exists, and fallback to GUI fabrication otherwise, but we recommend being explicit to make it clear what the test does. Also, we recommend fabricating resources via API since this makes tests faster and more reliable, unless the test is focusing in the GUI itself, or there's no GUI coverage for that specific part in any other test.

For our test suite example, the [project resource](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/blob/d3584e80b4236acdf393d815d604801573af72cc/qa/qa/resource/project.rb#L55) already had a `fabricate_via_api!` method available, while other resources don't have it, so we will have to create them, like for the issue and label resources. Also, we will have to make a small change in the project resource to expose its `id` attribute so that we can refer to it when fabricating the issue.
