Thanks to @joshtaylor's suggestion in #2485119-61: [meta] The Drupal 8.0.0-rc1 Release Checklist → , I got an account at https://saucelabs.com/ which allows for automated front-end testing, including on mobile platforms. This seems like a much more efficient way of going about #2152519: [meta] Make sure Drupal 8 looks good and works right on browsers (both mobile+desktop) → .
However, I have never done this before and have no idea what I'm doing. :)
The docs at https://docs.saucelabs.com/tutorials/php/ seem to suggest we need to tie https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jlipps/sausage-bun/master/givememysaus... into a Drupal module somehow. Looks like there is a sandbox at https://www.drupal.org/sandbox/aimeerae/2261529 → , but not sure what state it's in, and I'm guessing it's not for D8. :)
If we had that, we could install it via https://simplytest.me/ or what have you, along with the API key, which could give it a public URL to perform the testing.
We'd also need some selenium scripts it looks like in order to execute the suggested actions in the checklist. There's also https://www.drupal.org/project/fat → which has some QUnit tests, though I'm sure they're out of date by now.
Anyway, if someone already has experience running Drupal on SauceLabs and can short-cut some research here, that would be lovely!
