UI Test Automation with Project White

I don't know many details right now, but ThoughtWorks just released something called Project White as a new toolkit for test automation of WinForms and WPF user interfaces.  It might be worth checking out.  It's released as OSS under the Apache 2 license.

I'm happily doing automated testing of my new WinForms application, but I've purposely built that automated testing support in from the get go (I build a Window Driver into every screen and use some IoC magic).  I'll write up my solution as part of Build your own CAB soon, but I think most people will prefer something like Project White instead.

We've been using it on .Net 3.0 projects for over 6 months now with a fair degree of success.
