Description
Currently, our test coverage for CWS/AWS is quite poor. I think the only reasonable way to test them is to load them in a browser and verify that all pages behave correctly. This can be automated using something like selenium.
I think I would want it to be something like the current functional test suite, i.e. that it's one long-running test that starts by creating the necessary database objects and then performing a bunch of actions on them. I think it'd be good to have this running inside pytest, to avoid having yet another thing we need to run separately, but I'm not sure how to set that up...

Research direction
Start by reading the current functional test suite and the pytest setup. Investigate how browser-based tests with Selenium could cover CWS/AWS pages and how they could create database objects and run actions in one long-running test. Done means an agreed, automated browser integration suite runs within pytest and verifies the relevant pages.
