Description

Working with external, non-react, libraries is a pain in the react ecosystem; testing is no exception. We should see if there is anything we can do, to normalize the DOM that gets injected by third party libraries.

React's TestUtils do not currently support this, so it'd be a huge win if enzyme could.

Highcharts is a decent test library.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Evaluate how enzyme can normalize third party library DOM injections, e.g., Highcharts. Look into React TestUtils limitations and propose approaches.
