Staffing and Training Needs

It is preferred that there will be at least one of the testers assigned to the project for the system and unit
testing phases of the project. This will require assignment of a person in the full project from the
beginning of the project to participate in reviews, development, etc and other members will be assigned
more into testing. If a separate test person is not available the test lead will assume this role.
In order to provide complete and proper testing the following areas need to be addressed in terms of
training.

The developers and tester(s) will need to be trained on the basic operations of the Study
Social Network system. Prior to final acceptance of the project the operations staff will also
require complete training on the Social Network process.

The operator should be trained on how to use PC and other software related to the Social
Network system.

The operator is also trained on fast typing on the keyboard as it is a time crucial project.
