software testing and performace tools

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi All,
I have a complex C# application (winforms) that I am taking over. I do
maintenance and add small features here and there. what I need is:
1. a tool that will help with testing. that is, with every new code
modifications, I want it to automatically run a script that activates
the GUI and immitate user actions... so i dont have to do it myself
2. test performance and pinpoint the methods in which must of the
execution time is taking place

what are the popular tools in the .net market to achieve this?
(actually, only for the 2nd question the tool needs to be .net-aware,
i think) are these two usually in one tool or a series of tools?

thanks
Jonathan
