Are there any popular solutions for GUI testing an ignition app? Or does Ignition have it's own testing suite?
Not for Vision. Internally our QA team uses QF Test, but that's mostly because it's basically the only automated testing option we found that works with Vision.
I'm not really convinced by the entire notion of automated GUI testing, though, to be honest. It seems like it's inevitably either A: fragile or B: not actually testing anything.

This is a really good take, I was doing a lot of research about it but didn't find anything that wouldn't prevent the headaches from testing an always changing UI.
Sure we could validate text in windows or surface level stuff but I think having reviews of the existing UI can be effective as well.
