This is what the Functional Developer DUIM one looks like:

This isn't a million miles away from what we have for McCLIM already, 
but is more complete.

Note that the DUIM source tree also contains 'unit' tests, which 
include (as far as I know, I will investigate further) examples where 
specific windowing calls are redefined so that at least it's possible 
to say 'up to this point the functionality is correct' even though that 
might not lead directly to fully-working code.

Testing GUI apps is always a pain; there are testing utilities 
available (generally they record input events, then replay them as 
necessary and compare the results) but I haven't seen a good general 
purpose cross-platform one.
