Writing Automation has made me realise after 10 plus years I am actually a good tester.
I am however possibly the worst developer known to man and should not be allowed.
Life giveth and it taketh away.
Today particularly appalling effort reminded me of this meme. 
Louise Woodhams
Automation & Test Lead

I've been testing for over 10 years and API testing is my favourite.
I believe testers/quality people are the BEST humans and always bring hope to my half glass empty soul.
