Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Plan a software installation
   • Determine if a client system and a server system meet the requirements for installation
   • Determine an installation method
   • Review the security requirements
   • Prepare a software-installation plan
2. Perform the software installation
   • Create an install package for an application
   • Test the install package in a test environment
   • Deploy the install package to a production environment
3. Plan and test an application removal
   • Create an uninstall package for removal of installed components
   • Test the uninstall package in a test environment
4. Perform the database installation
   • Deploy a database from the development environment to the production environment
   • Specify the connection string to the database
5. Manage an application configuration
   • Configure the application to use parameters that are valid for the production environment
   • Use the configuration files to modify the deployment variables
   • Configure the security features in an application

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

prepare plans for software installation taking into account data, resource and security requirements

create application install and uninstall packages, and then test and troubleshoot any issues

install a database to a production environment
