There are no tests for frontend #166

About

Currently our tests only cover the backend part of our project. Given that lately we experienced a few situations where a change at some place broke something somewhere else, it might be a good idea to write unit tests also for the frontend using a framework like Selenium.

This seems pretty infeasible since we can't even implement all the required features, with 0 tests. I'm labelling it with waiting. If we can implement the required features for our last milestone, then we can consider this one.

Small note: Selenium tests are usually called end-to-end acceptance tests, because they are different from unit tests.

Thanks for the correction. I am of course not asking for frontend tests that cover everything, but I think for checking stuff like authentication/permissions having some tests would make some sense. I agree that writing tests might slow us down considerably, but manually testing the required features was not also a very pleasant experience last time. Maybe a middle ground can be found.
