@sarina

I would like to step up and propose myself as a maintainer of the repository. Within Raccoon Gang, we've done some work using this repo to automate smoke testing.

Currently, we are discussing a potential switch to Playwright, as it may be better suited for long regression scenarios, but this discussion is ongoing.

My intention is to automate the release testing process so that we can quickly re-test major scenarios. I’m willing to start this work with this repo.

Additionally, I’m curious about its value to our community. Is anyone else using it? Would reviving the repo and adding general tests for Open edX be valuable beyond the BTR group?

Cypress tests are used at 2U still, but new test creation is largely not happening. There are a few suites which run during deployment time.

@cmltaWt0 thanks for stepping up to maintain this repo! I will close this DEPR ticket and you can nominate yourself on the forums to extend your rights to this repo.

Additionally, I’m curious about its value to our community. Is anyone else using it? Would reviving the repo and adding general tests for Open edX be valuable beyond the BTR group?

I think that'll be good to explore as you take on maintenance work. @jristau1984 has given a data point already!
