• Contribute software testing perspective to other project activities
• Plan development or required tests; select the required test approaches
• Analyze requirements and application to be tested; estimate time and efforts; acquire the right resources
• Manage specification, preparation and execution of tests
• Create test specifications; prepare test data
• Execute tests; document defects
• Run performance tests; monitor execution
• Adapt planning based on test results and progress
• Take actions necessary to compensate for delays
• Measure test progress
• Select tools; identify where automated testing is needed
• Identify testing environments; schedule testing
