Component Test
Noun · Development
Definitions
A test that exercises a single component in relative isolation, often verifying rendering, props handling, state changes, and user interactions without requiring the full application stack. Component tests sit between unit and end-to-end tests by validating realistic behavior on a bounded piece of UI or logic.
In plain English: A test focused on one component and its behavior.
Example: "The team added a component test for the date picker so timezone edge cases were caught without spinning up the whole booking app."
