Composing With Confidence

" summary

Shows how to test Jetpack Compose UIs using the Compose testing APIs: use createComposeRule or createAndroidComposeRule to render content, find nodes with onNodeWithText/onNodeWithTag/onNodeWithContentDescription, assert with assertIsEnabled/assertTextEquals and perform actions like performClick and performTextInput. Recommends using test tags and extracting test robots for maintainable tests, covers screenshot testing with Shot and fast JVM snapshots via Paparazzi, and links a sample repo with ~100% coverage.
