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.

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:

obtain requirements

develop web applications that keep track of user data between browser requests

document web applications.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

appropriate learning and assessment support when required

modified equipment for people with special needs

development environment

server access

database server

browsers.

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:

verbal or written questioning to test candidate’s knowledge of the HTTP, session management and stateless programming

evaluation of a web application that handles session management.

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 non-English speaking background may need additional support.

In cases where practical assessment is used it should be combined with targeted questioning to assess required knowledge.

Submission Requirements

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

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.

Required skills

analytical skills to:

determine functional requirements

identify dynamic client and server-side requirements

communication skills to liaise with the client

initiative and enterprise skills to provide feedback and recommend the most appropriate technology solutions

literacy skills to:

follow documented instruction from a supplied guide

interpret workplace instructions and other technical documents

review latest industry guidelines

planning and organisational skills to plan and organise the most appropriate solution

problem-solving skills to:

identify and rectify website functional problems

identify and resolve bugs in the code created

select the most efficient and effective algorithms

research skills to:

keep up-to-date with industry trends

find solutions to encountered problems

technical skills to:

apply web programming concepts

create hypertext markup language (HTML) and eXtensible hypertext markup language (XHTML) pages

create software in a variety of languages, including client and server-side languages

create aesthetically pleasing web pages.

Required knowledge

internet technology

principles of web analysis and design

programming control structures and object-oriented programming

web programming concepts:

authentication and web security

HTTP

session management

stateless programming.

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Code may include:

active server pages (ASP)

active server pages. net (ASP.NET)

Coldfusion

Java server pages (JSP)

Perl hypertext preprocessor (PHP)

Ruby on Rails.

Session management may include:

authentication

shopping carts.

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.
