Comprehensive Test Plan: Build out an automated regression test suite covering critical path scenarios within the CMS

[ndouglas]

User Story or Problem Statement

As anyone involved in the project, I need automated tests to confirm that all content and media types have at least a minimum level of reliable functionality.

Description or Additional Context

These critical path tests will act as bare minimum regression test coverage for the CMS, and should be solely focused on editor capabilities within the CMS. They should be able to prove the following content and media types can be created and saved:

• Create a new section in the i_create_a_node.js Cypress step definition file for the banner content type. #12456
• Create a new section in i_create_a_node.js Cypress step definition file for the basic_landing_page content type. #12457

Next Steps

Once these basic scenarios have been covered, more niche scenarios can be built on top of these to cover various permutations of using different paragraph types during the creation of the base content type(s), touch on roles/permissions, etc. These more specialized scenarios would ideally be considered as part of a broader set of non-critical regression tests.

Acceptance Criteria

• A test confirms that a node of every content type and media type is created and saved in behavioral tests.
