Overview
What is this?
End-to-end tests (e2e for short) describes the automated functional tests that simulate user interaction with the system under test.
A well-maintained suite of e2e tests, in conjunction with CI (continuous integration) pipelines will ensure that regressions to key user flows are caught as early as possible in the development cycle.
Our Goals
To accelerate development by being a force for continuous improvement, and help identify, prioritize and mitigate bottlenecks from the system.
