When working on namespaces that have a visual output (like System.
Drawing or System.Windows.Forms) one important thing to test is how the
application looks to the user in different scenarios. Also, in the case
of SWF also how the application behaves with user interaction (keyboard
mouse).

Testing properties and events is OK and can be interesting, but it is
just one part of the picture. How we look and behave is really important
too.
