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.
