To do what you want with assert_select you can use
assert_select "form>span[title=required field]", 13
That is there should be 13 span elements with given title inside form
elements
or
assert_select "form" do
assert_select "span[title=required field]", 13
end
if you want to insist that all 13 are in the same form
