Automatic tests have poor UI

[Zygmunt Krynicki]

Automatic (shell) tests just zip past the user. This is pretty confusing and looks bad. On top of that, some tests may take longer and may "go away" half-way while the user was busy reading the description.

I would argue that each test automatic should have a 'continue' button. Testing is going to be dominated by manual tests anyway and this won't make the process any longer in real terms. Users are used to pressing next.

I agree with your comment that right now it looks bad, but I don't agree with the Continue button for each test. You argue that most tests are going to be manual, but what if this is used for automated app testing (for example).

This needs more discussion.

For automated app testing nobody in their right mind would use checkbox touch which would require external scripting to automate. I would say that checkbox touch is a strictly human oriented application and for other kinds of tests we have console tools.
