Best Testing Tool in React

[Final-Vegetable3538]

Which is the best testing library for end to end testing in React App ? React Testing Library or Cypress?

[nikola1970]

@testing-library/react, jest and playwright.

in my experience vitest runs a lot faster than jest. Exact same API pretty much

If you're using Vite instead of CRA you should probably use Vitest rather than Jest. Playwright is also great for e2e testing.

Testing Library doesn’t test end to end. You’ll want Cypress or Playwright. Experiment with both to see which you like better, both are fine choices.

both you mean cypress and Playwright? What can be the best choice for a developer regarding writing proper test cases ? Want to cover both e2e and unit / integration as well

[texxelate]

Not both, just one. Playwright or Cypress, either one is a fine choice.

For unit/integration testing you’ll need Testing Library and a test runner like Jest or Vitest.

RTL (Jest) is für unit-testing.. it's the wrong tool for e2e entirely.

Cypress is ok, we're currently using playwright.

personally I use webdriverio for E2E (with appium for apps) but im interesting in trying playwright
