While refactoring the test code of some applications, we are moving calls outside the tests to helpers.py. Right now, to use launch_test_application() it requires an AutopilotTestCase. That blocks starting an application on a function in helpers.py, which doesn't instance any AutopilotTestCase. In other words, there is no way to easily launch an application with testatibility enabled and returning the proxy object.
