+1 Would be nice to convert the existing UI test in xwiki-enterprise-test-ldap to be based on your new UI (right now they directly modify XWikiPreferences and do a login). The existing tests are based on the old selenium way of writing tests but should not be to hard to move to PO at the same time. > > Now another question is, should we bundle it by default ? > > Personally I think not.
