System Analysts are responsible for solution design by working interactively with Architect and Development resources via group work sessions. Once solution design is complete, System Analysts support the QA, UAT and Release phases of the project via defect analysis, change maintenance, etc. Many of the described activities will occur concurrently due to our use of an Iterative SDLC.
