Description

Currently when we need to validate a release, we update gallery to the latest RNW version and then manually walk through the pages to confirm that all of the components are working and rendering correctly. Instead, it would be great to automate this process by using some kind of UI testing platform - such as Jest - to iterate through the pages and test the controls. We should then add this testing to our pipelines, so we can catch regressions as they come.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or pipeline entry points; start by locating the gallery component pages, their existing validation paths, and the repository's CI configuration. Define the UI coverage and testing platform before implementation, with done meaning component controls are automatically validated during the release pipeline and regressions are reported.
