Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Develop client-server application
   • Build and test object-oriented applications
   • Make use of features of language that enable inter-process communication through at least one mechanism
   • Make use of features of language that enable remote procedure calls (RPCs) using class based on multiple inheritances
   • Build programs using classes based on nested classes
2. Develop graphical user interface (GUI)
   • Code to implement drag and drop
   • Develop GUI help files
   • Code using 2-D graphics
3. Build applications
   • Code within existing architectural framework
   • Ensure code follows standards for object-oriented language
   • Develop application that includes data transfer between client and server
   • Review concept of design patterns used by architectural framework
4. Debug code
   • Use stand-alone debugging tools or tools provided by integrated development environment to examine running code
   • Detect logical and coding errors using debugger
   • Detect and correct errors by tracing code and examining variable content
5. Test application
   • Design and document tests to be performed
   • Undertake limited testing of produced code to ensure it complies with program specification
   • Document test results
6. Document system
   • Demonstrate adherence to guidelines for developing maintainable code and company or institutional coding standards
   • Create code using supplied design documents
   • Create and maintain program documentation
   • Ensure that user documentation in form of online help is built into applications

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

develop client-server applications using an object oriented language

produce a graphical user interface (GUI)

build, debug and test the applications

produce documentation for the applications.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

Knowledge Evidence

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

describe the architecture of a framework for web-enabled application development

summarise the techniques for implementing inter-process communication

describe the process for the development of large-size application

identify and outline testing techniques as applied to distributed application development

identify and outline techniques for implementing third-party supplied code.
