Unit of Competency ICTICT420 - Develop client user interface
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to design and document a client user interface that integrates with front-end applications.It applies to individuals who work in small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) as software designers and developers and have achieved a degree of autonomy.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

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 general information and communications technology (ICT) industry, and include access to:

design specifications

organisational standards for documentation and version control

project management process and hierarchy

a usability test plan

agreed usability metrics.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
