Overview

Build comprehensive test suites for frontend applications including unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end tests with proper coverage and assertions.

When to Use

• Component testing
• Integration testing
• End-to-end testing
• Regression prevention
• Quality assurance
• Test-driven development

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

// Button.test.tsx
import { render, screen, fireEvent } from '@testing-library/react';
import '@testing-library/jest-dom';
import { Button } from './Button';

describe('Button Component', () => {
  it('renders button with text', () => {
    render(<Button>Click me</Button>);
    expect(screen.getByRole('button')).toHaveTextContent('Click me');
  });

  it('calls onClick handler when clicked', () => {
    const handleClick = jest.fn();
    render(<Button onClick={handleClick}>Click</Button>);

    fireEvent.click(screen.getByRole('button'));
    expect(handleClick).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(1);
  });

  it('disables button when disabled prop is true', () => {
    render(<Button disabled>Click me</Button>);
    expect(screen.getByRole('button')).toBeDisabled();
  });

  it('applies variant styles correctly', () => {
// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)
