+**BREAKING**: Removed the `TestApiRegistry` class, use `TestApiProvider` directory instead, storing resused APIs in an a variable instead, e.g. `const apis = [...] as const`.

+The `catalogApiMock` test utility now returns a `MockWithApiFactory`, allowing it to be passed directly to test utilities like `renderTestApp` and `TestApiProvider` without needing the `[catalogApiRef, catalogApiMock()]` tuple.

+Added a new `mockApis` namespace with mock implementations of many core APIs. Mock API instances can be passed directly to `TestApiProvider`, `renderInTestApp`, and `renderTestApp` without needing `[apiRef, impl]` tuples.
+
+```tsx
+// Before
+import { mockApis } from '@backstage/frontend-test-utils';
+
+renderInTestApp(<MyComponent />, {
+  apis: [[identityApiRef, mockApis.identity()]],
+});
+
+// After - mock APIs can be passed directly
+renderInTestApp(<MyComponent />, {
+  apis: [mockApis.identity()],
+});
+```
