That's funny, I used to work with a guy who could mess up a bad day. So I
would use him to test all of my software. No matter how many user-error
scenarios I could imagine and code to prevent, he would somehow find a new
one. An automated approach could be something like random clicks (left,
middle, and right) covering every pixel of every stack window, and random
keyboard input when a text field is detected. It would be like using a
monkey to do your testing (but not as entertaining). ;-)
