Evidence Required

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria required skills and knowledge range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package

Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	Evidence of the ability to identify components relevant to the project requirements document component connectivity and relationships document component interface requirements
Context of and specific resources for assessment	Assessment must ensure access to technical specifications organisational and process goals standards for model development computeraided software engineering CASE tools project deliverables test plan project budget outcomes of the businessanalysis process appropriate software and hardware appropriate learning and assessment support when required Where applicable physical resources should include equipment modified for people with special needs
Method of assessment	A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge The following examples are appropriate for this unit direct observation of candidate preparing component action diagrams conducting walkthrough of models against specifications using CASE tools verbal or written questioning to assess candidates knowledge of interoperability between components review of developed model
Guidance information for assessment	Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector workplace and job role is recommended where appropriate Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and suitable to the communication skill level language literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed Indigenous people and other people from a nonEnglish speaking background may need additional support In cases where practical assessment is used it should be combined with targeted questioning to assess required knowledge
