## What it is
A curated, community-maintained guide of UI testing best practices covering testing strategies, E2E, integration, and component testing. It is a documentation/learning resource with 26 chapters, not a software tool.

## Use cases
- learn ui testing best practices
- decide between component vs e2e vs integration tests
- improve flaky cypress tests
- structure e2e test suite for a web app
- onboard a team to frontend testing
- find ui testing tools and real-life examples

## When to choose
- you want authoritative, curated guidance on UI/E2E testing strategy
- you are starting UI testing and need to avoid common pitfalls
- you use Cypress, Playwright, or Puppeteer and want best practices

## When to avoid
- you need an executable testing tool or library rather than guidance
- you need backend or non-UI testing practices
- you need a quick reference card rather than long-form chapters
