React Testing Library: render()
A helper that mounts a React component into a lightweight DOM for running assertions in tests.
"I want to verify what my component renders and how it behaves without starting a browser."
render() mounts your React component into a virtual DOM (jsdom) and returns utilities to query and interact with it for assertions. It isolates the component so you can test output, events, and side effects deterministically.
