Prepare for the build phase of an ICT system

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to prepare the development environment for the build phase, and coding, of an information and communications technology (ICT) system.

It applies to individuals in software development environments who are required to organise the documents, environments, and tools for the build phase of software development.

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. Identify the best development platform for project

1.1 Identify the requirements of the development platform, using the detailed technical specifications

1.2 Match the technical specification of the development platform, with the technical specification of the project and with the quality standards

2. Identify the best development tools for project

2.1 Identify the functional requirements for development tools, using the detailed technical specifications and other program documentation

2.2 Evaluate the development tools for a match with the requirements, and document the evaluation outcomes

2.3 Select the appropriate development tools

3. Prepare the development environment

3.1 Obtain the components for the development platform, development tools and the required hardware

3.2 Install, configure and test the development platform and tools

3.3 Document the configuration of the development platform

Evidence of the ability to:

identify the best development platform, according to the project’s technical specifications and quality standards

identify the best development tools, according to the functional requirements, and documenting selection and evaluation

obtain components for the platform, tools and the required hardware

install, configure and test the platform and tools

document the configuration of the platform.

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:

identify the client business domain

explain current industry-accepted coding methods and standards in a recognised language, and in database management system (DBMS) modelling techniques

outline the processes and techniques related to:

software and database design

architectures and their technical requirements

describe the quality assurance practices required when building an information and communications technology (ICT) system.

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:

design specification

software requirement specifications

system requirements

technical specifications

version control standards.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

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.
