Description:
Per a request from James Forrester, we should create a new browser test(s) in the VisualEditor repo that will verify the availability of VisualEditor on production wikis in two categories:
- Test whether VE loads if invoked on each of the currently ~300 wikis that VisualEditor is deployed to. This is just checking that ?veaction=edit causes a VE surface to load.
- Test whether VE's edit tab appears on the ~150 wikis to which is is deployed to as default for all users. This is checking that the tab for VisualEditor loads for logged-out users.
Some caveats regarding this new test:
- The test should not perform any writing actions to the wiki (just loading, no saving).
- We're probably only looking for a quick verification every week or so, rather than
every 12 hours (as with the existing schedule for other VE browser tests).
