    We can use Verify to perform snapshot testing and check for the correct output of the program. In order to make things easier and simplify working with process output capturing and invocation, I used CliWrap.

    You will have to write extra code to set up a code base to get it started (there's always a large initial cost in getting things set up, and you'll be writing code that helps get the state of your application setup), but I can assure you that our team paid the initial tax and the only reason our tests change now is because of requirements changes (and maybe sometimes because the testing tools we use like Verify have some breaking changes in behavior when we upgrade). Otherwise, it helps us identify issues in our code, particularly when we do library upgrades or change to a different library. Again, our tests do not change when we completely reimplement anything, just when the external contract changes. We just get to refactor/reimplement and have confidence that the old behavior stays the same. And then you get to hook up a benchmark to your tests and, if your reason for refactoring was performance reasons, you can show that it was effective.

    I assume this means you can take something like this, combine it with Snapshot/Approval testing (link to a library I have used), and then you have some quick-to-generate tests that help guard against regressions (even visual ones) by say:
