Yui isn't a test pilot, she's a combat pilot. Note that the other members of Argos Flight are also combat pilots - only Yuuya is coming from an actual test background.
Argos Flight's other pilots are going to be chase aircraft, monitoring and recording the Shiranui Second prototype, while Yuuya's job, as the only person with an actual test background, is to push the envelope, discover what it can or cannot do, and give his observations. Note his comments on the Fubuki after just one flight in it.
Yui is too entrenched in the Japanese mindset, which is why they need an outside context - Yuuya - to assist in the development, as he'll see things they overlook. Of course, the question of whether Yui will listen to him is another matter entirely...
