+It is recommended to use `kebab-case` for `data-testid` attribute.

 It is not recommended that you add `.js-*` classes just for testing purposes. Only do this if there are no other feasible options available.
 
 Do not use a `.qa-*` class or `data-qa-selector` attribute for any tests other than QA end-to-end testing.

+### `extendedWrapper` and `findByTestId`
+
+Using `data-testid` is one of the [recommended ways to query DOM elements](#how-to-query-dom-elements).
+You can use the `extendedWrapper` utility on the `wrapper` returned by `shalowMount`/`mount`.
+By doing so, the `wrapper` provides you with the ability to perform a `findByTestId`,
+which is a shortcut to the more verbose `wrapper.find('[data-testid="my-test-id"]');`
+
+```javascript
+import { extendedWrapper } from 'jest/helpers/vue_test_utils_helper';
+
+describe('FooComponent', () => {
+  const wrapper = extendedWrapper(shallowMount({
+    template: `<div data-testid="my-test-id"></div>`,

+  it('exists', () => {
+    expect(wrapper.findByTestId('my-test-id').exists()).toBe(true);

 ## Testing with older browsers
 
 Some regressions only affect a specific browser version. We can install and test in particular browsers with either Firefox or BrowserStack using the following steps:
