Hmm. SharpRobo seems like something that might *start* to satisfy those who just can't do without UI Testing and have been looking for a way to do it from within their unit test frameworks (such as NUnit or FIT): "SharpRobo is a Functional Testing and Recording tool for WinForm applications written in...

Yet another tool to help with integration tests against the database layer(got this by email: "I wanted to let you know about an open source tool I created to help unit test the data access layer. http://www.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ProjectName=MassDataHandler This tool uses knowledge...

Pair Programming when working with remote teams is somewhat of a problem, until you start counting in the fact that Collaborative Text Editing between remote location is supported in some text editors as a primary feature.
