Fully agreed. You make an end to end test. But often it is necessary to test 
at a finer granularity. Anyway. My main problem was testing the UI by 
simulating keyboard and mouse.

It does not work in all circumstances. Furthermore if you use NUnitForms for 
example on a TextBox and write

myBoxTester.Enter("bla");

I would expect that NUnitForms "types" the text into the TextBox control so 
that all events are fired. Instead NUnitForms sets the TextBox.Text 
property.

Yes, if you have to test it only once :-))
