If QA is Assigned to Manage/Perform Code Migration

When QA has to work as a software configuration expert, he/she may need to properly migrate code through all phases of the software development lifecycle (development, QA, UAT, Production). He/She need to use a variety of tools (whatever the tools available) within the organization established for migration purpose. Tools such as WebMethods, Clearcase, CVS, and MS Office tools can be one of those tools example for migration purpose.

For this, they may also need some proficiency with UNIX Tar files to facilitate transfer, archiving, and unpacking of data. So, it is needed to understand the basic UNIX commands as well.

Other relevant experience could be with version control of software and release and change management experience in a software development environment.
