Introduction
As the major issues in VisualEditor have been fixed, the VisualEditor has recently been deployed to 14 non-English Wikipedias so that users can become familiar with the editor. It will eventually become the default editor for Wikipedia. The timing is good for a battery of tests of be constructed for the VisualEditor, as the editor is now stable enough to have automated tests written and run against it.

Goals
To construct a battery of web automation tests in all different areas that can be added to the QA test framework to test the new VisualEditor. These would follow the same guidelines as the current tests, and be constructed in Cucumber and Ruby, and then run under Jenkins.
