Sure, you could do that to bypass the failure (without the "public"
actually?), leaving non-generic names around. Still I'd agree with
Tom here and just rename the objects to something more in line with
the context of the test to make things a bit more greppable. These
could be renamed as transaction_tab or transaction_view, for example.
