Out of curiosity: I use AHK to do basic testing automation for a windows application that I have literally zero ability to control programatically (to achieve actually good automated testing). Anyone have a better option for this kind of use case?

I've used AHK for the same things - it's about the best free/open source thing I've found, besides just adding a scripting language to your program.
