Testing HTML Light DOM web components wasn't so scary after all. Some testing notes and patterns from a recent project.

We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve added accessibility tree snapshots to Pleasantest. These snapshots incorporate important accessibility details into your tests, helping you to understand, track, and maintain the accessibility of your interfaces. We believe Pleasantest is the first testing tool to provide this incredibly useful feature.

Pleasantest is a library that integrates with Jest to help you write UI tests that interact with real browsers. It uses Puppeteer to launch and control browsers, Testing Library to find elements on the page, and jest-dom to make assertions against the DOM.

With a single command, the tool will crawl an entire site, run a Lighthouse report for each page, and then output a spreadsheet with the aggregated data. Each row in the generated spreadsheet is a page on the site, and each individual performance metric is a column. This is convenient for high-level analysis because you can sort the rows by whichever metric you are analyzing.
