Digging up bones

My favorite side effect of writing automated test scripts for regression is having those tests find - as my boss put it - 'where the bones are buried.' Either as I'm in the process of writing these tests or when they fail when running regression tests after a code roll, I've found several outlier bugs. Even better when these automated scripts find the bugs before the new functionality goes to prod.

I must also be a unicorn because I can do manual testing AND write automation scripts for testing.
