Our team actually dropped FE testing entirely with Typescript.

We found that our E2E tests took way too long to write and didn’t really cover the visual defects we often hit.

We have enough critical flows tested and with TS to prevent runtime errors, we have a decent degree of confidence.

Preach, we had to check the source of the official test suite to figure out how to test it.
