These artifacts will become functional design documents and testing documents. Systems analysts conduct or support testing on bug fixes and enhancements.  Systems Analysts support the team during migration and conversion efforts to bring clients into the new process or software. The Systems Analyst will be involved in all aspects of the team’s delivery services.
