  class Component extends React.Component {
    render () {
      return (
        <div className='grand-parent'>
          <div className='parent'>
            <div className='child'>

            </div>
          </div>
        </div>
      )
    }

  it('gets the instance', () => {
    expect(getInstance(render(
      <Component />
    )))
      .toBeInstanceOf(Component)
  })
})
```

```javascript
import {
  render
} from '@testing-library/react'
