I've just started my first IT job in a team with two developers (junior and senior), a project leader and an architect. My role is not yet completely defined and I said I'd be ok with both programming or testing. For now they put me on use case analysis since the PL says that it would leverage my analytical skills (I'm a science phd).Now the question is who's usually responsible for use case analysis? How usual is it to put a newbie on it?The hidden fear I have is: are they trying to keep me away from programming (after two weeks I still haven't SEEN a line of code...)?

who's usually responsible for use case analysis?Everyone.How usual is it to put a newbie on it?Not too unusual.  You may have appropriate problem domain knowledge that makes you more valuable working with the users.The hidden fear I have is: are they trying to keep me away from programming (after two weeks I still haven't SEEN a line of code...)?Yes.  They secretly want to destroy you.No.  You've only been there a short time.
