I've just installed Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise (15.0.26228.4 D15RTWSVC) with .NET Framework Version 4.6.01055. I cannot add a new coded UI test project to a new solution because I cannot find that project type in the 'New Project' dialog. I assume it's because I didn't install some optional module when I was installing Visual Studio.

Which optional module do I need to install to be able to add new Coded UI test projects to solutions in VS2017 Enterprise?

In Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise on the installer's Individual components tab I see this:

A check box for Coded UI test

It appears to be an optional component.
