  • This will bean agile and iterativeactivity, not a "write once" kind of job– we'reupdatingour specifications,stories, and expected behaviours continuously in tight communication with multiple stakeholders.For example, this will occur whenlimitations (or a better solution) are identified during feature implementation or when we receivestakeholder feedback.
• Conduct acceptance testing of completed development work. Enter detected defects and follow-up work items into the issue tracker.
