Task assignment is usually given by the Project Manager.  Your Business Analyst or testing group would be responsible for creating test cases in detail.  There should be test environments established and a change management process (if there isn't one your Business Analyst should be able to work with the team to define and document a good Change Management process) defined with a bug tracking tool to be used.  To make testers accountable you could create a spreadsheet of the detail you would like tracked and send it to the testers requesting a daily or weekly status of their findings.  Then arrange for a daily or weekly meeting to resolve bugs/issues and track when those items are fixed as a collaborative effort between your testing and development teams (this is a manual process so you should expect to see duplicate bugs/issues between team member's submittals).

RE: Assign Task to Testers
Most of the times the task assignments to the Testers is done by the Project Manager in co-ordination with the BA and also the QA Manager. There will a day-to-day co-ordination that is expected from the BA and the
technical team to lead the tester. This mutual co-ordination results in a better out-come in terms of the the product/application.

There are applications such as Clear-Quest which can be used by the tester to list all the bugs that they come across in the
application and the same can be assigned to the developer who developed the same they can add as much as information the Clear-Quest Record to make it more explanatory
they can also meet and discuss the same.
