List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Analyse the requirements for the database | 1.1 Determine the information that the database is required to hold 1.2 Develop a written requirement report for the functionality of the database 1.3 Complete the documentation, and submit it to the appropriate person for approval |
2. Use data modelling to design the database to suit requirements | 2.1 Design an entity-relationship (ER) diagram to model the relationships between the entities and the attributes that the database will hold 2.2 Develop primary and foreign keys to link the entities 2.3 Develop a data dictionary 2.4 Complete the documentation, and submit it to the appropriate person for approval |
3. Create a database on a web or database server | 3.1 Use the appropriate language on a web or database server to create one or more databases 3.2 Use the appropriate language on a web or database server to create tables 3.3 Populate the database fields |
4. Test the database and debug | 4.1 Test the database on the web or database server 4.2 Ensure that the information represented matches the requirements |
Evidence of the ability to:
research client requirements for a database solution
design a database that meets client requirements
create a database on a web hosting service or server to meet client requirements by a due date
test and debug the database.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
outline the principles of open platforms, including browsers and databases
list the processes associated with the creation of entities, attributes, and in populating fields, using both software solutions and script- based input
describe data-modelling techniques to design a database
outline the steps in database design, modelling and implementation
describe the internet operation related to web servers and clients
identify the naming conventions appropriate to database design
identify security restrictions on servers, incorporating some theoretical concepts
describe best practice communication, and accessibility, for audiences with special needs.
Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the database field of work, and include access to:
equipment, materials and industry software packages
database and database management system
the internet and web browser software
software for creating entity-relationship (ER) diagrams
software development environment
the server.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
