Another Winforms testing framework from Thoughtworks! - level 200

Testing WinForms UIs is tough. Manual testing is slow and difficult to repeat. Vivek Singh has just released a new version of SharpRobo, a WinForms testing framework. Vivek recommends running these tests through NUnit, and from practive, I've found that whatever I can test with NUnit, I can test with FIT, so I'm excited to try it out. Thoughtworks has previously produced NUnitForms.

Selenium and FIT are good for testing Web apps, but I am dealing with a windows application at this point. Kudos to Vivek for this library.

I came across this yesterday myself...There isn't much documentation on it - at least, not that I could find...

Hmm. SharpRobo seems like something that might *start* to satisfy those who just can't do without UI

I've not tried it yet, so my remark may be premature, but do you need to use BaseForm as the base class for all your forms in your project under testing?
What about forms in libraries? What if I don't have the source?
