GoldenTests are widely used for detecting regressions where visual appearance, text, or data structure changes would
There are several forms of GoldenTests, including text-based golden files for textual outputs and image-based goldens
Advantages of GoldenTests include rapid regression checks, a clear reference baseline, and support for safe refactoring
