Hmm, not completely true what I said here.

Those tests *also* might simulate user behaviour, at least to a certain
degree. For instance, in the forms module you will find tests which
create complete documents, including controls, and operate them like
users would do. This, however, works on a different level than the
TestTool: The latter really sends key events to the applications, the
Java tests use the Accessibility UNO API, which by definition should
behave exactly as user input would behave.
