It depends, If your project is in Agile then QA & Developer will work together. They start working from Sprint 0 or 1. QA Will study User story in Sprint plan and then do estimate (Also developer) then while developing a code, tester will verify user story & Acceptance criteria then Test case/Test scenario or checklist. If it is non Agile or Traditional project then QA should go through SRS to convert it into FRS with/without the help of BA
