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 system design requirements | 1.1 Produce system requirements specifications for a complex project involving enterprise and technology issues using the simplest possible technology and making the system modular 1.2 Resolve and negotiate requirement conflicts to establish a complete and consistent requirement set 1.3 Produce and develop acceptance criteria for requirements 1.4 Design a requirements management plan with categorisations, structures and sources of complexity 1.5 Develop a process to manage requirements, enabling users to influence future improvements |
2. Produce system design based on requirements | 2.1 Evaluate strengths and weaknesses of relevant technologies in context of the design requirement and needs for systems integration 2.2 Create range of alternative interdisciplinary concepts and assess their attributes 2.3 Plan for incorporation of later life-cycle design attributes while developing design requirements 2.4 Devise a system design strategy and approach, using tools and techniques to conduct functional analysis 2.5 Produce a set of parameters to track critical aspects of the design 2.6 Use documentation, modelling and simulation tools and techniques to represent a system or system element 2.7 Use complex simulations to evaluate design concepts for a system or system element 2.8 Produce a report to evaluate and advise on risks, suitability and limitations of models and simulations 2.9 Identify underlying domain-specific issues, strategy and approach to be adopted for ensuring system robustness 2.10 Produce a robust design using domain-specific strategy and approach for platform requirements and designs |
3. Verify solution design and traceability | 3.1 Align specific aspects of the design to original intent 3.2 Verify and track specific aspects of current design against original intent throughout the supply chain 3.3 Compare verification requirements with system requirements 3.4 Use change control and configuration management to implement remedial actions and change control for inconsistencies |
Evidence of the ability to:
develop system design requirements
evaluate design concepts for system or system element using complex simulations
produce a system design using domain specific strategy to platform requirements and design
use functional analysis tools
verify solution design and traceability.
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:
explain complex simulation techniques
summarise current enterprise platforms and designs
outline design of management plans
explain domain and solution architectures
determine and summarise technological issues for a specified enterprise
outline information required to simulate computer system elements according to a test specification
explain interdisciplinary concepts and attributes
explain life cycle design attributes
contrast remedial actions and select control for inconsistencies
explain solution design and traceability
provide a detailed summary of tools required to conduct functional analysis.
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 Telecommunications – Telecommunications Networks Engineering field of work and include access to:
a site where development, deployment, management and optimisation of domain and solution architectures into platform requirements and designs can be undertaken
documentation, modelling and simulation tools currently used in industry
tests and equipment currently used in industry.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
