Headless Chrome running in lambdas/cloud functions. CI/CD validates this with each push.

In the dev/test/staging environments you can continually do things like post 3 new articles with random text, then ensure that the latest blog posts show those 3 in the correct order, etc.

Could you provide a bit more detail? How do you script the test? How do you maintain it against content changes?

And, how do you apply it against production site which may display defects different environments?

The CMS we use does not have any automation so automating posting and analyzing results will be out of scope.
