Summary: "UI testing is hard, but sometimes it's a good idea--if only to prevent yourself from looking bad." More of a ramble than anything new or informative about testing. The bottom line for me on UI testing is that it's really damned hard to do, let alone to do it right. You will spend a LOT of time coding custom control testers if you have the least bit customized GUI. Most frameworks can turn into a black hole for your valuable development hours. Time is almost always better spent unit testing your business logic after you've properly separated it from your UI classes. Even the author admits that there are usually a limited number of end-to-end scenarios that need full UI testing. Write a script and have someone on your team run through it during key milestones...or do it yourself.
