https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserManualTests

pitti: there's quite a lot of tools to develop here; would it be any easier to use checkbox, where we already have a lot of infrastructure, and users might already be familiar with it? Or is this more aimed at details tests, such as "now try to move this window over here"?
didrocks: after some discussion, checkbox will be used.
