The Problem
- You want tests for your UI that avoid including implementation details and rather focus on making your tests give you the confidence for which they are intended.
- You want your tests to be maintainable so refactors (changes to implementation but not functionality) don't break your tests and slow you and your team down.
The Solution
The Testing Library family of libraries is a very light-weight solution for testing without all the implementation details. The main utilities it provides involve querying for nodes similarly to how users would find them. In this way, testing-library helps ensure your tests give you confidence in your UI code.
