While this doesn't catch every single bug, because your users are +clever, it will catch many of them before they'll ever see them. I'll show how our integrated testing runs "the real world," by continually exercising our +software with actual scenarios. The benefits include: (1) being annoyed with your own software, so you'll develop new features to assist the users +(actual features, not "features"), (2) automatically writing the dreaded documentation that we all hate spending our time on, and (3) breaking your +software before your users, saving you from answering (fewer) phone calls and emails. + +*Learning Objectives*: +1.
