This comment is slightly inaccurate. The logic in BackgroundCarousel.tsx renders the current, next, and previous slides to ensure smooth transitions. With loop={true}, the previous slide for index 0 is the last slide (index 14). Therefore, we should expect images at indices 0, 1, and 14 to be rendered initially.

Suggested change
* Initial state: activeIndex = 0. Should render index 0 and 1.
* The component has 15 images in total.
* Initial state: activeIndex = 0. Should render index 0, 1, and 14.
* The component has 15 images in total.

// Ideally we expect 2 or 3 depending on logic

These assertions are too broad. A more specific test will better validate the optimization and prevent future regressions. Based on the component's logic, exactly 3 images should be rendered on the initial load (active, next, and previous).

Suggested change
expect(images.length).toBeLessThan(15);
expect(images.length).toBeGreaterThanOrEqual(1);
// Ideally we expect 2 or 3 depending on logic
expect(images.length).toBe(3);
