My name is Kent C. Dodds and I'm a Remix Co-Founder, JavaScript engineer, and teacher. I'm also active in the open source community. I like my family, JavaScript, and React.
for components there are really two people that need to be tested for.
Agreed! And I have a blog post on that here: Avoid the Test User. If you have ideas on how to improve the docs, please open issues/pull requests.
I'd like to add that many of the limitations are not React Testing Library's but actually JSDOM. If you want, you can use React Testing Library in the browser (with karma for example) and you avoid some of the issues you mentioned (though you get a few new ones).
And yes, user-event is the place for stuff like that 👍

Excellent, thanks for the link to the article - I hadn’t read that one. Sounds like we’re on the same page 🙂.
I certainly plan to contribute some more in the future!
