10.11 Unit Testing Your GUI with NUnitForms

Unit testing and test-driven development are increasingly being used to improve software reliability and simplify code design. However, it remains less common for developers to write unit tests for the user-interface components of their applications. NUnitForms, originally developed by Luke Maxon, makes it easy to test this part of your application. The API allows you to interact with your Windows Forms and control classes from a unit-test suite, verifying their proper behavior, state, and interactions.
