@testing-library/react: render userEvent

Render components in a simulated DOM, query by role and label text, fire user interactions with userEvent, and assert on visible output.

Testing Library Philosophy

@testing-library encourages tests that resemble how users interact with the UI. Query by role, label, and text — not by implementation details like CSS class names or component internals.

Installing Testing Library

Install Testing Library for React and the userEvent package for user interaction simulation.

npm install -D @testing-library/react @testing-library/user-event @testing-library/jest-dom
