/**
* UI Test Suite for MQTT Explorer
*
* These tests validate the core UI functionality of MQTT Explorer.
* Each test is independent and deterministic.
*
* Best Practices Applied:
* - Wait for specific UI elements rather than fixed timeouts
* - Use meaningful assertions that verify actual state
* - Test data-driven scenarios (Given-When-Then pattern)
* - Capture screenshots for visual verification
* - Handle MQTT asynchronous operations properly
*
* Prerequisites:
* - MQTT broker running on localhost:1883
* - Application built with `yarn build`
