And you want to render deep! But deep rendering may otherwise require jsdom (React Native isn't the web!), while doing deep rendering with `react-test-renderer` is so painful. You would also like to use the newest React features, but you need to wait for your testing library's abstractions to catch up and it takes a while. +You finally want to approach testing using only best practices, while Enzyme may encourage assertions on implementation details. + ## This solution The `react-native-testing-library` is a lightweight solution for testing your React Native components. It provides light utility functions on top of `react-test-renderer` letting you always be up to date with latest React features and write any component tests you like, be it shallow or deeply rendered ones. But really not any, it prevents you from testing implementation details because we stand this is a very bad practice.
