Produce server-side script for dynamic web pages

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to produce server-side scripts for dynamic web pages, using a range of relevant features from different but appropriate languages.

It applies to individuals working as web designers who apply a wide range of knowledge and skills across different information and communications technology (ICT) environments to support small to medium enterprises (SMEs) that require broader, rather than more specialised, ICT support.

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. Analyse the requirements for web documents requiring server-side dynamic interaction

1.1 Determine the necessary dynamic functionality of the web document

1.2 Determine the appropriate language, to achieve that functionality

1.3 Determine web document requirements

2. Design server-side scripts

2.1 Design the web document and server-side code, to interact with an external data source

2.2 Design the web document and server-side code, to allow an administrator to insert, update, and delete entries to the external data source

2.3 Implement security features in the web document

3. Produce the web documents

3.1 Write the extensible hypertext markup language (XHTML), considering accessibility

3.2 Write server-side scripts to current XHTML standards

4. Test the scripts and debug

4.1 Test the web document against required the functionality and reiterate until correct

4.2 Complete the documentation and submit it to the appropriate person for their approval

5. Set up security

5.1 Determine the necessary permissions to prevent error messages displaying to the public

5.2 Configure server software to minimise potential database attacks

Evidence of the ability to:

create dynamic web pages according to all job requirements, using server-side scripting to retrieve information from a web-hosted database

create scripts for:

the quick upload of data to web-hosted databases

inserting, updating, and deleting data from a web server database

encoding passwords

uploading and retrieving images

managing sessions, and creating a secure login.

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 server-side technologies, and the relevant web scripting languages

discuss server-side web analysis and design parameters

summarise and apply, programming control structures and object-oriented programming

outline web-programming concepts including:

the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP)

stateless programming

session management

authentication and web security.

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 website technologies field of work, and include access to the:

client requirements

functionality and scope requirements

security policy

database server

internet and server

software development environment

web browsers.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

Submission Requirements

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.
