General advice:
Allocation for QA Analyst should be about 50% of CE allocation on the project.
In case the allocation for QA Analyst is significantly lower than 50% of CE, it is still useful to have QA Analyst on the project, but it needs prioritization of tasks for testing
Allocation should be through all Feature Sprints and optionally also through UAT
Typical assignment of QA Analyst:
Assignment starts just after the beginning of development
Test cases are created in test management tool based on real user stories and their descriptions and acceptance criterias
Testing during Feature Sprints is mainly focussed on manual functional testing
Results of testing are documented in test management tool
Examples of testing during projects:
Created tables and imported data
New fields and developed changes in UI
Verification of workflows
Verification of calculations
Correct behaviour for different business roles
Project specific tests
