[question]
Hi,
We are working on a bot and its hosted in azure bot service. The bot supports teams/slack clients.
We are exploring ways to add end to end tests for this bot.

I feel Botframework emulator can be used for this purpose, however since it has UI its difficult to automate test runs with this.

Is there a way to use part of emulator without UI to simulate botframework and have a web/cmdline client?

If not can we take this as feature request?

Look into the WebChat client and Chrome headless mode

Tracked via #509 and #599. For now @justinwilaby has provided the appropriate workaround.

@prabhatmuroor in the meanwhile, you can look at the instructions here, microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat#1253.
