How to check xml node names using <xsl:if>

I am having an xml file that goes like this.

<RootTag>
    <Form>
        <Section>
             <Annex>
                <Group>
                        <Label value = "Name"></Label>
                        <Text Value = "Enter Name"></Text>
                </Group>
                <Group>
                        <Label value = "Gender"></Label>
                       <Radio Value = "Male||Female"></Text>
                </Group>
            </Annex>
        </Section>
    </Form>
</RootTag>

Now in my xsl, I have to check if the tag is <Text> or <Radio> and generate <input> tag based on that result.

Is there any whay I can do it using <xsl:if>? Like <xsl:if test = 'node = <Text>'>

<xsl:if test="name() = 'Form'">

However, there are other approaches which may be better:

One is to use a template for this item; the XSLT engine will automatically perform the test, if you want to look at it that way.

<xsl:template match="Form">

Another is to use the self:: axis

<xsl:for-each select="self::Form">
