The Angular Testing utilities include the TestBed class and helper functions from the test libraries - @angular/core/testing.
The TestBed class is one of the principal Angular testing utilities!
The TestBed class is responsible for configuring and initializing the environment that we are going to write our tests in by calling TestBed.configureTestingModule.
