Yes, I'm super excited about this ^^^, but I was speaking in more general manner - e.g. accessing any kind of UI for basic functionality without need to know the internals, or use their own testing system (like QTest, or what Omar posted above with DearImGui, or something that exposes a white/gray box).
Inevitable, you have to reach out to the specifics of the UI end, but for most of the tests all you may need is - Run App, Accept Some License / Button, Press something else, then something else - and it elevates some confidence that at least it can run and go that far (sometimes changes can break even this).
So such tests can be coded by completely autonomous team, not having to deal with how you've build the software to begin with, or coordinate changes you've made later (apart from how the UI works).
