Unifying the UI makes sense in the long run. Will it involve retrofitting all the existing manual test which already have its own UI?

In most cases, the UI in manual tests is similar: Pass / Fail buttons at the bottom with the test instructions above. Then there are differences… Other parts of the UI depend on the nature of the test.

I've always found manual tests a bit confusing: a test, especially applet-based one, opens two windows; however, one window is easier to focus on.
