Responsibilities of SAP tester during each phase of ASAP methodology

[former_member844628]

Hi SAP Gurus,

Please let me know the responsibilities of a SAP tester during each phase of the ASAP methodology:

Phase 1- Project preparation

Phase 2 - Business Blueprint

Phase 3 - Realization

Phase 4 - Final Preparation

Phase 5 - Go-Live & Support

As I understand, testing would mainly be done in the Realization phase, I would like to know what the SAP tester would do in the rest of the phases.

Thanks
