Use when writing or reviewing Jetpack Compose UI tests, screenshot tests or baseline-recording evidence, previews, semantics assertions, fake image loading, keyboard input, focus assertions, interaction state (hover/pressed/focused), or tests for plain state-driven UI composables. Test the smallest UI contract that proves the behavior. Prefer plain state-driven UI tests with callbacks. Add integration only when lifecycle, navigation, DI, or platform behavior is the thing under test.
