Description:
The time has come to create additional VisualEditor browser tests for accessing VE via the Mobile interface.

James F had great feedback on which repo (MobilefrontEnd vs. VisualEditor) these tests belong in:

"One way of looking at it is on the blocking model. If (when!) these tests were to block merge, which repo's changes should they be triggered by? In this case, I think there's a case for some basic browser tests for VE-on-Mobile to be in VisualEditor (specifically, in the MediaWiki VisualEditor repo) with the major tests be in MobileFrontend."

An example URL for accessing VE via Mobile UI is: [1]

I'll take this on. Having refactored both MF and VE at the end of 2014, both repos are in good shape to support new feature coverage.

Awesome. :-)

So.. MobileFrontend has some basic ones [1]. I wonder if we should have a dedicated extension for MobileFrontendVETests that depends on MobileFrontend and VisualEditor? It seems silly having two (might even be worth breaking out MobileFrontendVE into its own extension?)
