@testing-library/react is a testing utility library for React applications that encourages best practices for testing user interfaces. It provides a simple and intuitive API for interacting with your components as a user would, focusing on testing behavior rather than implementation details. This approach helps ensure that your tests are more resilient to UI changes and provide better coverage of user interactions.

Compared to other testing libraries like Enzyme, @testing-library/react promotes writing tests that closely resemble how users interact with your application, leading to more maintainable and reliable tests. It is actively maintained and widely adopted within the React community.
