Staffing
Skills

Knowledge of the specific functionality being tested.
Understanding of defect management process.
Assignment Approaches
This role can be assigned in the following ways:
Assign one or more testing staff members to perform this role. This is a fairly standard approach and is
particularly suitable for small teams, as well as for teams of any size where the team is made up of an experienced
group of testers of relatively equal skill levels.
Assign one or more testing staff members to perform only this role. This works well in large teams. It is also
useful to separate responsibilities when some of the testing staff has more test automation experience than other
team members.
Assign one (or more) team member who is already playing other role in the project to be responsible for the testing
of some part of the system's capabilities. The team member must have the appropriate test skills.
