---------------------------------------+-----------------------------
 While WordPress currently uses Playwright for E2E testing, there are
 notable limitations in terms of test coverage depth, maintenance effort,
 and non-technical contributor accessibility. I propose introducing
 '''testRigor''' into the E2E test suite as a complementary tool.

 = Key Benefits =

  * '''Plain English Tests''': Write tests in natural language, making them
 accessible to all contributors.
  * '''Low Maintenance''': Resilient to UI changes thanks to AI-driven
 selectors.
  * '''Tests across devices''': Run tests across browsers and devices with
 no extra setup.
  * '''Reusable Test Steps''': Abstract common flows into shareable,
 readable steps.
  * '''Faster Execution''': Cloud-based parallel test runs speed up
 feedback loops.
  * '''Non-Developer Friendly''': Empowers QA, designers, and content
 creators to contribute with tests.
