Build a graphical user interface

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to design, build and test a graphical user interface (GUI) to specification.

It applies to individuals employed as programmers in a variety of fields who provide information and communications technology (ICT) support in small to medium enterprises (SMEs).

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)


Evidence Required

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. Determine specification of GUI

1.1 Review GUI requirements

1.2 Review organisational standards for GUI

1.3 Determine the back-end for interfacing with the GUI

1.4 Determine the functionality of the GUI, including back-end interface

1.5 Determine the application development language for writing the GUI

1.6 Determine type and level of documentation required

2. Design GUI to specification

2.1 Design the GUI incorporating the required functionality

2.2 Document design outcomes

3. Build GUI to specification

3.1 Build the GUI with the required functionality in the determined language, using the toolkit's classes or widgets, containers and other pertinent features

4. Test and document GUI to meet specification

4.1 Test GUI for overall functionality according to requirements

4.2 Iterate GUI design or build until test results meet requirements

4.3 Produce technical documentation for the GUI

Evidence of the ability to:

build a graphical user interface (GUI) to requirements

demonstrate a GUI in concept and compiled form, using appropriate development tools to assist GUI construction

develop appropriate documentation.

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:

explain and apply object oriented programming concepts

identify the system properties

describe the features of application programming interface (API)

identify the issues relating to copyright and intellectual property

discuss code of practice relevant to the computer industry

discuss the Commonwealth and State privacy and information access legislation applicable to the job role.

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 general information and communications technology (ICT) industry, and include access to:

GUI requirements

organisational standards

a development environment.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

Submission Requirements

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
