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. Prepare for test | 1.1 Determine test criteria 1.2 Prepare test environment 1.3 Perform static tests using appropriate test tools to verify correct behaviour of modules 1.4 Use a test harness program to exercise module behaviour 1.5 Test objects containing lower level class instances separately 1.6 Prepare data to facilitate path testing 1.7 Prepare data to facilitate member function testing |
2. Conduct test | 2.1 Ensure clean test environment 2.2 Initialise test environment 2.3 Run test harness and document results in line with test and acceptance processes 2.4 Finalise test environment |
3. Analyse and classify results | 3.1 Review and classify test results to highlight areas of concern 3.2 Compare test results against requirements and design specifications in line with quality benchmarks 3.3 Forward test results to appropriate person 3.4 Review feedback 3.5 Ensure compliance with documentation and reporting standards |
Evidence of the ability to:
prepare at least TWO test environments
conduct unit tests, covering:
member function test
path test
static test
analyse, document and report test results.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
explain object-oriented programming language
compare and contrast the key features and processes of automated test tools
discuss client business domain relating to class to be tested
outline input and output requirements
describe organisational requirements relating to class to be tested
analyse system testing requirements
analyse underlying test data.
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 systems administration and support field of work and include access to:
special purpose tools, equipment, materials
industry software packages
suitable test plan
specific requirements
design documents used in analysis of the test
suitable class to test.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
