📣 If GUI tests are causing too much pain ... #109

Automated GUI tests have benefits, but they can be a pain to write/maintain; their behavior can sometimes depend on things such as the OS, resolution etc.

If you find them too big a burden, it is OK to get rid of some of the troublesome GUI tests and rely more on manual testing instead. The less automated test coverage you have, the higher the risk of regressions; but it may be an acceptable trade-off under the circumstances if tests are slowing you down too much.

But note that each person is expected to write some tests so that we evaluate your test writing abilities.
