## What it is
FBSnapshotTestCase is an iOS library for snapshot (screenshot-based) unit testing of UIViews and layers, originally developed by Facebook. The repository has been archived and the project now lives under Uber as iOSSnapshotTestCase.

## Use cases
- test that my iOS views render correctly with snapshot tests
- catch unintended UI changes in an iOS app
- write screenshot-based unit tests in Objective-C
- compare rendered views against reference images in XCTest
- regression-test iOS UI without manual inspection

## When to choose
- you need snapshot testing for an older Objective-C iOS codebase pinned to this original library
- you are researching the history or fork lineage of iOS snapshot testing tools

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new project - use the actively maintained uber/ios-snapshot-test-case fork instead
- you need Swift-native or modern tooling like swift-snapshot-testing by Point-Free
- you expect bug fixes or updates, since this repo is archived and unmaintained
