Automated workflow testing integrated with extension

I manage a media asset management extenstion that supports Premiere, Illustrator, Audition, Photoshop, and After Effects. I'm wondering if there is any way (or recommendations) to setup an automated testing environment for common work flows in these apps combined with my extension. The primary areas I'd like to focus on are between exporting from Adobe to our extenstion (creating new project, sequence, project items before exporting, and using extension to execute export), and importing to Adobe from our extension.

I realize this is a very broad question, but I'm hoping someone has done this successfully and can recommend tools. The extension is written in TS/React and of course, ES.

Thanks in advance!

There isn't much of use within the PPro ExtendScript API, to drive such testing.

Some vendors have taken the approach of having their panels listen for messages (on a web socket connection), to drive behaviors that way.
