[Rebecca Blundell <1732297@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Public bug reported:

In a lot of cases, there are repeated and unnecessary steps being done
in tests. For instance, a test that has nothing to do with logging in
will have:

    Given I log in as "admin" with password "Kupuhipa1"
    # Verifying log in was successful
    And I should see "Admin User"

We don't need to check the login works every time.
Also, there are a lot of cases where we could add a new page in the background (i.e, it is not a manual add page test) and instead it is done manually in a collection of steps.

Fixing these things should improve performance.
