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. Identify potential re-use units | 1.1 Analyse the project design and functionality, to identify re-use components 1.2 Source re-use components with the desired functionality |
2. Evaluate re-use components for suitability in parent project | 2.1 Evaluate the re-use component, or libraries, for suitability for use within the parent software project 2.2 Compare the functionality of each potential re-use component to the functionality required by the parent project 2.3 Evaluate the cost of implementing the re-use component 2.4 Consider the technical impact on the parent project design 2.5 Consider re-use component vendor licensing issues 2.6 Finalise the selection of re-use components 2.7 Document selection, evaluation and decision processes, as part of the parent project design documentation |
3. Incorporate the re-use components | 3.1 Configure the development environment to include re-use components during the build process 3.2 Construct test programs or use provided example programs, to become familiar with re-use components, in preparation for incorporation into the parent project 3.3 Add re-use components to the parent project incrementally 3.4 Resolve re-use component dependencies 3.5 Assemble and test the parent project, with a focus on the functionality provided by the re-use components |
Evidence of the ability to:
identify, evaluate, and select the appropriate components that may be re-used
modify and integrate the re-used components into a project
document the selection and evaluation processes
test the functionality of the re-used components.
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:
define and prepare the contract’s specifications
outline, and apply, current industry development and design methodologies
describe domain modelling
recognise and apply generic specification
define the content and structure of libraries
select and apply the techniques for metrics collection
recognise patterns, frameworks and idioms
identify and apply repository tools.
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 programming and software development industry, and include access to:
the software development environment
a reuse library
the technical requirements.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
