React Testing Library vs JEST

In this article, we will see about react testing library vs jest. Let’s see the differences:

JEST:

Jest is a JavaScript testing framework. But more importantly, it is a test runner that finds tests, runs the tests, determines whether the tests passed or failed, and reports it back in a human-readable manner.

RTL(React Testing Library):

It is a Javascript testing utility that provides virtual DOM for testing React components. With the automated tests, we are about to write, there is no actual DOM to work with. React Testing Library provides a virtual DOM which we can use to interact with and verify the behavior of a react component. The testing library is in fact a family of packages which helps test UI components. The core library is called the DOM Testing library and RTL is simply a wrapper around this core library to test React applications in an easier way.
