# Component Test with Storybook and Vitest

**[Storybook](https://daily.dev/sources/storybook)** · 5 min read · 12 upvotes · 1 comments

## Summary

Storybook 9 introduces comprehensive component testing powered by Vitest, offering three types of tests: interaction tests for user behavior simulation, accessibility tests using axe-core for WCAG compliance, and visual tests through Chromatic for UI regression detection. The new Test widget enables running all tests with one click, includes coverage reports, and provides debugging panels. This approach fills the gap between unit tests and E2E tests, allowing developers to test thousands of UI states with minimal maintenance while leveraging existing stories as test cases.

> At the company I work for, we rely heavily on Storybook to test our stuff (it's the integration layer in our testing pyramid), and we've built a lot of custom tools to enable these visual/a11y/interaction tests in Storybook and with good DX. It's nice to see them shipped in Storybook itself, but it also means we'll soon have a lot of technical debt to deal with (migrate from custom tools to built-in ones) 😭
