## What it is
Official unit testing utility library for Vue.js 2 components, providing mount/shallowMount wrappers and DOM interaction helpers. It is the Vue 2-targeting v1 line, with Vue 3 served by Vue Test Utils v2.

## Use cases
- test vue 2 components with jest
- mount vue components in unit tests
- simulate clicks and dom events in vue tests
- test vuex and vue router integration
- server-side render vue components for testing

## When to choose
- you are writing unit tests for Vue 2 components
- you want official, well-documented component testing utilities

## When to avoid
- you are on Vue 3 (use @vue/test-utils v2)
- you need end-to-end browser testing rather than component unit tests

- maturity: maintenance
- function: testing, e2e-testing
- domain: frontend, web-development, testing
