Also using the accessibility toolkit for UI test is something seen in several other toolkits. You need the same kind of things... I'm not sure what is you issue with ATK exactly. The current sugar.test.uitree stuff is really low level, you could build something more friendly on it perhaps (or use dogtail even, I gave up on it because it was too complicated and racy but things might have improved now that ATK is more stable). But there might also be an issue with the amount of information ATK exposes, some of our controls doesn't quite show up in the tree I think. Though that might also be fixable, by improving our accessibility story at the same time :)
