Based on the [Guiding Principles](https://testing-library.com/docs/guiding-principles), your test should resemble how users interact with your code (component, page, etc.) as much as possible. With this in mind, we recommend this order of priority:
1.**Queries Accessible to Everyone** queries that reflect the experience of visual users as well as those that use assistive technology
- [`getByText`](https://callstack.github.io/react-native-testing-library/docs/api-queries#bytext): This is the number 1 method a user finds any visible text on interactive and non-interactive elements.
- [`getByDisplayValue`](https://callstack.github.io/react-native-testing-library/docs/api-queries#bydisplayvalue): Useful for the current value of a `TextInput`.
- [`getByPlaceholderText`](https://callstack.github.io/react-native-testing-library/docs/api-queries#byplaceholdertext): Only useful for targeting a placeholder of a `TextInput`.
- [`getByLabelText`](https://callstack.github.io/react-native-testing-library/docs/api-queries#bya11ylabel-byaccessibilitylabel-bylabeltext): This can be used to query every element that is exposed in the accessibility tree as a label, usually when there's no visible text.
- [`getByHintText`](https://callstack.github.io/react-native-testing-library/docs/api-queries#bya11yhint-byaccessibilityhint-byhinttext): This can be used to query every element that is exposed in the accessibility tree as a hint. Make sure it also has a label set.
- [`getByAccessibilityState`](https://callstack.github.io/react-native-testing-library/docs/api-queries#bya11ystate-byaccessibilitystate): This can be used to query every element that is exposed in the accessibility tree as a state of an interactive element, like a checkbox.
- [`getByAccessibilityValue`](https://callstack.github.io/react-native-testing-library/docs/api-queries#bya11value-byaccessibilityvalue): This can be used to query every element that is exposed in the accessibility tree as a value on a range, like a slider.
- [`getByRole`](https://callstack.github.io/react-native-testing-library/docs/api-queries#bya11yrole-byaccessibilityrole-byrole): This can be used to query every element that is exposed in the accessibility tree as a role, like buttons or images.
- [`getByTestId`](https://callstack.github.io/react-native-testing-library/docs/api-queries#bytestid): The user cannot see (or hear) these, so this is only recommended for cases where you can't match by text or it doesn't make sense
