UI Testing In Jetpack Compose Using Semantics 🚀
UI testing in Jetpack Compose makes sure that everything you see and interact with in your app works as expected. It’s like checking your homework before you hand it in — by running tests that simulate real user actions, you catch mistakes early, ensuring that buttons, text fields, and screens behave correctly. This helps keep your app bug-free and gives users a smooth, reliable experience. In this article we will test our Jetpack Compose UI using semantics.
What is Semantic
Semantics in Jetpack Compose are like extra labels or tags that you attach to your UI elements (Button , Text , TextField etc) . They tell both accessibility tools (like screen readers) and testing tools what each part of your app is for.

When we want to perform the UI test on button we call Submit tag to identify the button and test it. When a disabled person using the app , screen…
