Hi Chris, Having some UI testing would be a great addition to Airflow's testing framework. However, I have some bad experiences with Selenium. In projects that I've worked with selenium, it was always very flaky, and hard to debug. Since we haven't written any tests, my first step would be to pick the technology to write the tests. As I've already mentioned in the thread that Kamil pasted, I would like to consider Cypress for testing the UI. Cypress comes with a nice UI where you can easily see when the test failed. In Selenium this is still a hassle.
I would start with some simple scenario's. Starting Airflow and kicking off an example dag, and make sure that it runs in the UI.
