 We recently started a conversation to add a checklist of steps to test
 before releasing a new BuddyPress version. This process is usually manual.
 See https://github.com/buddypress/bp-documentation/issues/288

 I'd like to ammend this convo as part of adding support for end to end
 testing to BuddyPress. We have a lot of prior art, including from
 WordPress core [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/tree/trunk/tests/e2e here] and [https://github.com/WordPress
 /wordpress-develop/blob/trunk/.github/workflows/reusable-end-to-end-
 tests.yml here].

 My initial suggestion would be to add a new Github Action with e2e tests
 for the core steps of this new checklist (it should not be too extensive
 to begin with), but we can improve upon it as time goes by. This would
 create the base for getting started with end‑to‑end performance testing in
 BuddyPress in the future, where we can test if a new release is more or
 less performant.
