In a controlled application development environment, the MOST important segregation of duties should be between the person who implements changes into the production environment and the **quality assurance (QA) personnel**. The reason is that the QA personnel are responsible for ensuring that changes to the application have been properly tested and approved before they are implemented in the production environment. This segregation of duties helps to ensure that changes to the application are properly authorized, tested, and implemented in a controlled manner to minimize the risk of errors or fraud. The other options (application programmer, computer operator, and systems programmer) may also have important roles in the development and implementation process, but they are not as critical to ensuring the integrity and security of the application as the QA personnel.
