Unit of Competency ICTWEB406 - Create website testing procedures
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to design and implement procedures, which measure the performance of a website, and compare these procedures to the initial design specifications.It applies to individuals who may use significant judgement in planning, design, evaluation, technical or leadership and communications functions in frontline technical support roles.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 website technologies field of work, and include access to:

analysis software

the e-business website

industry standards, and organisational guidelines

site design and technical requirements documentation

site-development software and tools.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Document and define the performance criteria
  • Review the performance specifications and determine the benchmark criteria
  • Validate and document the performance functions
  • Select the measurement methodology, and test it on the website
  • Validate each performance function separately
  • Record and document the metric tools, using the appropriate methodology
  • Prepare the performance benchmarks, and seek agreement on the criteria with the client
       
Element: Validate the performance measures
  • Develop inspection and test plans, in order to validate performance measures throughout the performance cycle
  • Test the performance functions, and record the results, according to technical documentation standards
  • Compare the results of performance function testing to benchmark
  • Redesign functions that do not meet the appropriate performance benchmarks
  • Re-implement functions that have been redesigned during performance testing
  • Document the benchmarks and obtain sign-off
       
Element: Obtain sign-off
  • Validate and document, performance standards and benchmarks
  • Submit the methodology and function testing document, and results, to the client for approval
  • Review client comments and make changes, as appropriate
  • Obtain sign-off for the website testing procedure
       


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. Document and define the performance criteria

1.1 Review the performance specifications and determine the benchmark criteria

1.2 Validate and document the performance functions

1.3 Select the measurement methodology, and test it on the website

1.4 Validate each performance function separately

1.5 Record and document the metric tools, using the appropriate methodology

1.6 Prepare the performance benchmarks, and seek agreement on the criteria with the client

2. Validate the performance measures

2.1 Develop inspection and test plans, in order to validate performance measures throughout the performance cycle

2.2 Test the performance functions, and record the results, according to technical documentation standards

2.3 Compare the results of performance function testing to benchmark

2.4 Redesign functions that do not meet the appropriate performance benchmarks

2.5 Re-implement functions that have been redesigned during performance testing

2.6 Document the benchmarks and obtain sign-off

3. Obtain sign-off

3.1 Validate and document, performance standards and benchmarks

3.2 Submit the methodology and function testing document, and results, to the client for approval

3.3 Review client comments and make changes, as appropriate

3.4 Obtain sign-off for the website testing procedure

Evidence of the ability to:

identify the critical functions to be tested

develop the appropriate metrics for each function, and assign the benchmarked performance standards

test each performance function, and compare against the appropriate benchmarks

validate the performance of the site against technical requirements

document the results, to establish performance benchmarks for subsequent development of the site.

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:

identify and describe the legislation, regulations, codes of practice, and standards as they relate to web testing, including:

codes of ethics

privacy

copyright

intellectual property

naming

documentation

describe the client business domain, including client organisation structure and business functionality

identify current industry-accepted hardware and software products

outline the desktop applications and operating systems, as required by organisational guidelines

describe queuing systems, workload metrics, and user request classes

describe the key features, and use of, a standard generalised markup language (SGML) and its associated standards

explain standard web-testing procedures and optimisation tools

outline website design methodologies and standard website structures.

Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assignment, checklist) and due date here

Assessment task 1: [title]      Due date:

(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.

ELEMENT

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

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

2.2 Test the performance functions, and record the results, according to technical documentation standards

2.3 Compare the results of performance function testing to benchmark

2.4 Redesign functions that do not meet the appropriate performance benchmarks

2.5 Re-implement functions that have been redesigned during performance testing

2.6 Document the benchmarks and obtain sign-off

3. Obtain sign-off

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.
