## What it is
Spearmint is an open-source Electron desktop application that generates Jest test code through an accessibility-first graphical interface. Users pick a test type and fill in guided forms, and the app converts those inputs into executable Jest tests using DOM query selectors from @testing-library.

## Use cases
- generate jest tests without writing code
- create react component tests through a gui
- check my web app for accessibility issues
- generate endpoint tests for my api
- write redux reducer and middleware tests quickly
- learn test-driven development as a beginner
- produce puppeteer end-to-end test scripts

## When to choose
- You want to produce Jest test suites via forms and dropdowns instead of hand-writing boilerplate
- Your team includes juniors or accessibility-focused developers who benefit from guided, semantic test generation
- You work across React, Vue, Svelte, Solid, hooks, Redux, endpoint, GraphQL, or Puppeteer test types
- You want axe-core-driven accessibility testing baked into your workflow

## When to avoid
- You need test types or frameworks outside the supported JavaScript ecosystem
- You prefer authoring tests directly in code with full manual control
- You need a headless CLI that slots into CI pipelines rather than a desktop GUI
- Your project is not JavaScript/Node-based
