Current project status #53

I'm a bit confused about the current project status and scope.

I see that from commit aabdb5724072b6e927ec175ce490ed7b88981480 almost all the tests have been moved to edx-project. Following the README leads to importing only the Pages objects from there and running only the smoke test on them.

Is that (the smoke test) the new scope of e2e? (The smoke test) And so to run the UI test I should just run the bok_choy suite on edx-platform?

Thanks!

Hi @FiloSottile, this repository started as an experiment to develop higher-level acceptance tests for edx-platform. We decided to initially keep the tests separate from edx-platform so we could iterate on the design without impacting other developers. Once we stabilized on a clean design, we pulled out the basic UI testing framework into the bok-choy repository and moved everything except the smoke tests into edx-platform.

The remaining tests in this repository are meant to be run as quick health-checks on a running instance of edx-platform (a single-instance sandbox or staging environment). In contrast, the tests in edx-platform sometimes stub out services (ORA, forums, LTI, etc) but test features in greater detail.

Hope that's helpful, -- Will
