    This role can be assigned in the following ways:&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;ul>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        One (or more) team member performs this role exclusively. This commonly adopted approach is suitable for&#xD;
        complex requirements that are difficult to gather.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        One (or more) team members performs both this role and tests the software. This is a good option for smaller test&#xD;
        teams or resource&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;>-&lt;/font>constrained test teams.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        A customer representative performs this role. This approach is suitable to agile teams where the customer is&#xD;
        available and is part of the team.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
&lt;/ul></assignmentApproaches>
