 Replying to [comment:13 joyously]:
 > Does an end-to-end test mean that the main function of the page is
 tested, or that all the features on the page are tested?

 e2e testing is simulating a real world scenario to test functionality and
 performance from a user/product point-of-view. Click or do this workflow
 and then validate the expected result.

 Yes, it is testing a feature and the functionality that delivers that
 feature. How? By running it in a complete way (end-to-end) which exercises
 that specific feature's software and systems to ensure all of the pieces
 are working together to deliver the expected behavior.

 Does this make sense?
