Role:  Implementer

The implementer role is responsible for developing and testing components, in accordance with the project’s adopted standards, for integration into larger subsystems. When test components, such as drivers or stubs, must be created to support testing, the implementer is also responsible for developing and testing the test components and corresponding subsystems.

Staffing

The appropriate skills and knowledge for the implementer include:

• knowledge of the system or application under test
• familiarity with testing and test automation tools
• programming skills

We recommend that the implementer role that's responsible for an implementation subsystem is also responsible for its contained components.
