PghQA: Frenemies - QA and BA

Description: In theory, software business analysts and quality assurance folks often work at opposite ends of the sausage maker. BA focuses on requirements gathering; QA ensures that the requirements are met. Does this mean that BA has no role in software quality, and QA has no role in requirements analysis? Hardly! In practice, these roles are more fluid, and often overlap. Join IIBA and PghQA for a panel discussion of the dynamic, evolving roles that BA and QA play

Our Panelists:

• Brian Hall, CSM
Engineering Manager, UPMC Enterprises

Software Product Manager, DermatologistOnCall

• James Huber, CBAP, PMP
Vice President, Business Systems Analyst; PNC
