I am not aware of any testing tool at all.
The only advice i can give, is not to use Forms as a user interface.
Make your connection with your server, then use Dialogs, macros and SQL 
statements to build your users interfaces.
Do your printing to spreadsheets instead off Reports
Use the book (and the include macro code) from Roberto Benitez + the 
Base Document from Andrew Pitonyak as a starting point

Hope it helps
