Web devs are going to have to get used to robots consuming our web apps.

We'll have to start documenting everything we're deploying, in detail either that or design it in an easy to parse form by an automated browser.

Forget documenting it. I want an army of robot idiots who have never seen my app before to click every interface element in the wrong order like they were high and lobotomized. Let the chaos reign. Fuzz every combination of everything that I would never have expected when I built it.

As NASA said after the shuttle disaster, "It was a failure of imagination."

This is a nice use case. It really shows how miserably bad the state of the art in UI testing is. A separation between the application logic and its user interactions would help a lot with being able to test them without the actual UI elements. But that's not what most frameworks give you, nor how most apps are designed.
