      Main Description
      When the Developer is finished with coding as per the requirements, it is the Developer's responsibility to hand over the code to QA for testing purposes. This is a "must" for every in-house development project.
      Steps
      Developer demonstrates application to QA
      When Dev is ready to deliver the code to QA for testing, there should be a session/meeting between Dev, QA, BA and PM. This is a Dev’s responsibility and the purpose of that session is, Dev to give a high-level demo on functionality (new) in an environment similar to QA env. This cannot be in a local env on a developer's machine.
      QA confirms development hand-off
      Upon successful demonstration, QA confirms the hand-off from development to QA.
