I just linked a bug that showed more 50 crash reports per day in the released
product and was almost impossible to reproduce but was somewhat reproducable
with the java tests. As for rewriting the Java tests -- the unoapi framework
made that extra painful, though it should be somewhat saner for the complex
tests. So given the choice, the Python tests should not imitate the unoapi
test, to stay easily rewritable.

Also not that as I said in the other mail, I wouldnt want those tests to be run
like unittests (on every build), but rather on each tagged release an
prerelease build (with more runs optional) and we should aim to get them in a
reasonable state by release (not ASAP/next day as for unittests) and no they
are not blockers for a release in any way.

Best,
