Create cloud computing services

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to design, build, test and deploy web services and cloud computing applications to specifications.

It applies to individuals, in computer programmer roles, with the information and communications technology (ICT) skills required to create and install web services and cloud computing applications.

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. Design web service or cloud computing application

1.1 Gather requirements for the web service or cloud computing application

1.2 Determine the development environment and tools required to create web service or cloud computing application

1.3 Identify any possible big data applications

1.4 Define architecture and framework

2. Build web service

2.1 Itemise required functionality

2.2 Build web service in the determined environment to meet required functionality

3. Build cloud computing application

3.1 Determine required functionality

3.2 Build cloud computing application in the determined environment to meet the required functionality

4. Test web service or cloud computing application

4.1 Test web service or cloud computing application for overall functionality according to requirements

4.2 Iterate design or build until test results meet requirements

5. Deploy web service or cloud computing application

5.1 Deploy web service or cloud computing application to the specified environment

5.2 Publish web service or cloud computing application to the specified environment

Evidence of the ability to:

design, build, test and deploy a web service to specification that can be accessed and used from a separate web application

design, build, test and deploy a cloud computing application to specification that can be accessed from a variety of portals

document the completed development.

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 and describe the development tools required to produce services deployable through cloud computing

summarise the internet infrastructure necessary for cloud computing

describe object-oriented programming and its application to cloud computing

describe database access and manipulation on the web using:

hypertext markup language (HTML)

eXtensible markup language (XML)

describe the term "big data" and explain its relevance to cloud computing.

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances should be typical of those experienced in the programming and software development industry and include access to:

specific requirements, including client and functionality requirements

integrated development environment (IDE) for the determined language

the database server with tools to access data source and develop queries

the web server for the determined environment

the internet and a web browser.

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.

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.
