The need for extra tools is not the only challenge the UI brings with it, because UIs also see frequent and major changes. Thus, we mustn’t design tests that depend on the UI’s graphical details or we might be forced to completely rewrite all the tests at each UI change. That’s why it is sometimes better to renounce automatic tests and fall back to manual tests.
