WatiN Test Project Best Practices

After building up and running lots of WatiN tests, what are some good ways to organize the tests? If I was asked "Do we have a test that does X, then Y?" How would I look that up? Would it be with all tests surrounding X or Y?

It seems after getting lots of tests in here, organization becomes a bit of an issue. I'm just looking for some advice to help us keep our tests well named and organized, thus, more maintainable.

What about drawing some sort of equivalence between Nunit Categories and features then you could use categories as "tags" for what features are addressed.

The best solution I can think of is using the categories like you mentioned, but categorizing them with constants as the tags. This way I can find usages with ReSharper to see where all the usages of tag SHOPPING_CART are. For multiple tags on a test method, you could use [Test, Category(SHOPPING_CART + PAYMENT_PAGE)]. Still not my ideal solution, but better than nothing.
