React Testing Library

Tests components the way users interact with them -- querying by accessible roles and text, not implementation details.

When to Use

• Testing React components from the user's perspective
• Simulating user interactions (clicks, typing, forms)
• Writing tests that survive internal refactors

Don't use for:

• Pure function or service logic (use jest skill)
• E2E multi-page flows (use Playwright or Cypress)
