 UI Acceptance Tests
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-  Use these to test that major program features are working correctly.
+-  There should be very few UI acceptance tests since they are generally slow and
+   flaky. Use these to test only bare minimum happy paths for necessary features.

 -  We use `Bok Choy`_ to write end-user acceptance tests directly in Python,
   using the framework to maximize reliability and maintainability.
