If I Woke up as a Test Engineer One Day…

If I, being an application developer, have to spend a day as a tester, following are some of the activities I would do:

Analyzing Test Cases: Examine test cases and make sure that the coverage is maximum in terms of including all test scenarios in relation with the use cases.
Test Automation: Look for the areas which can be automated and suggest the same to my lead/manager.
Digg a little deeper in the code to find bugs which are difficult to find in manual testing.
Learn techniques in performance testing as I am very passionate about the same.
Learn few tips and techniques in security testing, along with knowledge on popular tools and frameworks used for security testing.
Watch code review comments and see if I could find some bugs.
Watch static code analysis if available and see if I could find some bugs.
