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. Develop components | 1.1 Document behaviour scenarios according to documentation standards 1.2 Identify or develop components according to project specifications 1.3 Prepare diagrams according to standards |
2. Prepare schema | 2.1 Analyse and document component connectivity 2.2 Identify and incorporate data flow iteration 2.3 Prepare component action diagrams according to standards |
3. Prepare component model | 3.1 Describe roles and responsibilities 3.2 Review and update functional requirements 3.3 Specify interface components and component relationships 3.4 Prepare interaction diagrams according to standards |
4. Iterate and review model | 4.1 Conduct walk-through of current model and review functionality 4.2 Identify relationships to ensure integration of model 4.3 Review class service requirements 4.4 Prepare initial test criteria 4.5 Implement process for incremental testing |
Evidence of the ability to:
identify and document high level component specifications relevant to the project specifications
analyse and document component connectivity and relationships
document and review component modelling.
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 appropriate design tools and their use
discuss and explain configuration management
outline the key features of a cost-benefit analysis
identify and apply current industry accepted design methodologies and hardware and software products, including broad knowledge of general features and capabilities
explain data modelling techniques
describe program development methodologies
describe quality assurance practices for preparing component models
outline relevant standards and organisational policies
specify current system functionality for analysing components.
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:
technical specifications
organisational and process goals
standards for model development
computer aided software engineering (CASE) tools
project deliverables
test plan
project budget
outcomes of the business analysis process
appropriate software and hardware.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
