        We recommend utilizing the `user` fixture instead of the [`screen` fixture](/documentation/screen) wherever possible
        because execution is as fast as unit tests and it does not need Selenium as a dependency
        when loaded via `pytest_plugins = ['nicegui.testing.user_plugin']`.
        The `user` fixture cuts away the browser and replaces it by a lightweight simulation entirely in Python.
        See [project structure](/documentation/project_structure) for a description of the setup.

        You can assert to "see" specific elements or content, click buttons, type into inputs and trigger events.
        We aimed for a nice API to write acceptance tests which read like a story and are easy to understand.
        Due to the fast execution, the classical [test pyramid](https://martinfowler.com/bliki/TestPyramid.html),
        where UI tests are considered slow and expensive, does not apply anymore.

    The querying capabilities of the `User` are built upon the [ElementFilter](/documentation/element_filter).
    The `user.should_see(...)` method and `user.find(...)` method
    provide parameters to filter for content, [markers](/documentation/element_filter#markers), types, etc.
    If you do not provide a named property, the string will match against the text content and markers.

    Besides the `user` fixture, we also provide the `create_user` fixture which is a factory function to create users.
    The `User` instances are independent from each other and can interact with the UI in parallel.
    See our [Chat App example](https://github.com/zauberzeug/nicegui/blob/main/examples/chat_app/test_chat_app.py)
    for a full demonstration.

    See our [pytests example](https://github.com/zauberzeug/nicegui/tree/main/examples/pytests)
    which implements the same tests with both fixtures.
