## Architecture
### Routing
[React Router](https://reactrouter.com/) handles the routing.
To avoid unnecessary [re-renders](/developers/frontend-development/best-practices-front#managing-re-renders) all the routing logic is in a `useEffect` in `PageChangeEffect`.
### State Management
[Recoil](https://recoiljs.org/docs/introduction/core-concepts) handles state management.
See [best practices](/developers/frontend-development/best-practices-front#state-management) for more information on state management.
## Testing
[Jest](https://jestjs.io/) serves as the tool for unit testing while [Storybook](https://storybook.js.org/) is for component testing.
Jest is mainly for testing utility functions, and not components themselves.
Storybook is for testing the behavior of isolated components, as well as displaying the design system.
