Are you suggesting maybe getting at that through the (undocumented)  
API, or something else?

I'm not sure what mechanisms we have for this, do you know?

That was what we discussed at the sprint and I'm doing what I feel is  
my job as QA PITA (pain in the ass) by insisting that A> we have tests  
for anything fixed and especially not covered and B> that we document  
the test related to the fix so that whomever reported the bug can  
verify that the test does indeed cover the use-case they reported.

What is the next step?
