Spike black box tests

Related to issue https://github.com/Particular/PlatformDevelopment/issues/925. This is a spin-off of a comment here.

Since ServiceInsight has very limited unit test coverage. The Maintainer Group feel that in cases of major changes/feature they need to have better coverage to ensure nothing is broken. This issue is to run a spike on that.

Maybe not directly related but historically we've had two approaches (not including the unit tests) in the code base:

• Our approach to testing the UI in isolation in the Approval Tests. This solves the challenge of creating a self-relying UserControl and showing it for test purposes. The downside is that this is monitor/resolution/OS dependant and the tests might pass in one environment and not the other.

• My earlier attempt on BBD style testing by running the whole and UI automation. This approach also has its own quirks. These tests were removed from the repo as of commit 4c2634f since they were not running on TeamCity.

Discussed during enhancement release triage, closing for as we don't see this being needed any time soon.
