Unit of Competency ICTPRG509 - Build using rapid application development
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to build using rapid application development (RAD) tools.It applies to individuals who may work as programmers and who are required to develop new systems.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 programming and software development industry, and include access to:

the computer-aided software engineering tools (CASE) repository, to facilitate the re-use of templates and components

CASE tools

a code generator

detailed user requirements

prototyping software

the requirements document, including the model and scope

the appropriate learning and assessment support, when required.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Construct an application using RAD
  • Capture and record business rules, using a methodology well-suited for the chosen RAD and RAD techniques
  • Design an application with a focus on modularity and future extension
  • Develop the code by other RAD tools
  • Build and demonstrate the completed transaction to the user, for revision within the agreed terms of reference
  • Take action to ensure that the design caters for continuous change, by involving the user in the iteration process
  • Provide quality assurance (QA) testing throughout the phase and provide feedback to the appropriate person
  • Use code optimisers and performance tools
       
Element: Prepare the handover stage
  • Track the implemented modules, and follow up where necessary with the appropriate person
  • Review user and builds for each module in the deliverables as preparation for handover
  • Compare the specification and implementation schedules for each module, and confirm the functional requirements, according to the specifications
  • Document the completed work
       


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.

ELEMENT

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Construct an application using RAD

1.1 Capture and record business rules, using a methodology well-suited for the chosen RAD and RAD techniques

1.2 Design an application with a focus on modularity and future extension

1.3 Develop the code by other RAD tools

1.4 Build and demonstrate the completed transaction to the user, for revision within the agreed terms of reference

1.5 Take action to ensure that the design caters for continuous change, by involving the user in the iteration process

1.6 Provide quality assurance (QA) testing throughout the phase and provide feedback to the appropriate person

1.7 Use code optimisers and performance tools

2. Prepare the handover stage

2.1 Track the implemented modules, and follow up where necessary with the appropriate person

2.2 Review user and builds for each module in the deliverables as preparation for handover

2.3 Compare the specification and implementation schedules for each module, and confirm the functional requirements, according to the specifications

2.4 Document the completed work

Evidence of the ability to:

design an application and develop high quality code, according to client specifications

provide quality assurance testing and monitoring

effectively demonstrate use of code optimisers using rapid application development (RAD) techniques

accurately document completed work.

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

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

outline industry-accepted prototyping tools

describe quality assurance practices as they relate to RAD

describe the impact that the client business domain will have on RAD in particular there effect on:

cost

quality

outline the role of the stakeholder, and the involvement required in RAD

describe three or more current industry development methodologies

identify and apply three or more programming languages

identify and apply the most appropriate RAD tool, taking into consideration the targeted platform or multi-platform options.

Submission Requirements

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.

2.3 Compare the specification and implementation schedules for each module, and confirm the functional requirements, according to the specifications

2.4 Document the completed work

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.
