Develop detailed component specifications from project specifications

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to analyse requirements of the project specifications in order to produce a set of high-level component specifications.

It applies to systems designers who are required to produce component specifications for programmers.

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. 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.


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.

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.
