A few times you can notice tests can take a very long time to get done. Sometimes it is because the test itself is complex and runs a lot of stuff, and sometimes it is because of how we are querying things. In the next section, we are going to talk more about them.

One thing we figured out that was slowing down our tests was the use of`ByRole` queries because of how it calculates the role attribute for every element on the`screen`. You can read more about it on the links below:

Even with`ByRole` having performance issues we still want to use it but for that, we have to scope the "querying" area by using the`within` command. So instead of using`screen.getByRole("button")` directly we could do`within(form).getByRole("button")`.

❌ Not ideal. If the screen has a hundred or thousand elements it can be VERY slow.

user.click(screen.getByRole("button"))

✅ Better. We can limit the number of elements we are querying.

const form=screen.getByTestId("form")

user.click(within(form).getByRole("button"))
