Quick Reference

React Testing: Use Vitest + @testing-library/react. Query by role/label (getByRole, getByLabelText) not test IDs. userEvent over fireEvent. Test behavior not implementation. Mock at boundaries (fetch, modules). screen.getByRole('button', { name: /submit/i }).

Use When

  • Testing React components
  • Testing custom hooks
  • Testing user interactions
  • Testing async operations

Skip When

  • E2E testing (use Playwright)
  • API testing (use supertest/httpx)
  • Visual regression testing
