Main Description
The implementer role is responsible for developing and testing components, in accordance with the project's adopted
standards, for integration into larger subsystems. When test components, such as drivers or stubs, must be created to
support testing, the implementer is also responsible for developing and testing the test components and corresponding
subsystems.

familiarity with testing and test automation tools
programming skills
Assignment Approaches
An implementer may be assigned responsibility for implementing a structural part of the system (such as a class or
implementation subsystem), or a functional part of the system, such as a use-case realization or feature.
It is common for a person to act as both implementer and designer, taking on the responsibilities of both roles.
It is possible for two persons to act as the implementer for a single part of the system, either by dividing
responsibilities between themselves or by performing tasks together, as in a pair-programming approach.
