I have now verified all my bugs.

However, the process doesn't seem right to me. As the person who fixed 
the bug, presumably I performed verification that my fix actually works, 
which is why I marked the bug as fixed to begin with.

At every other company I've been with, bug verification is performed by 
the QA team - and I think the purpose of it is to ensure someone other 
than the developer who fixed the bug can independently verify the bug is 
indeed resolved. A second pair of eyes can spot new problems more easily.

JMO,

Scott
