Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

ICTICT503 - Validate quality and completeness of system design specifications

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Determine audit criteria

  1. Investigate the system or product for which the quality audit is being performed to understand its functionality
  2. Determine the objectives to be achieved by the quality audit
  3. Determine the scope of the quality audit
  4. Develop a list of audit criteria and quality benchmarks
  5. Develop a metric to classify the audit criteria
  6. Determine the audit technique or methodology to be followed
  7. Examine and detail the resources available to carry out the audit
  8. Document the objectives, scope, criteria, technique and resources in an audit plan

Audit aspects of the final system

  1. Use the audit criteria to collect evidence about the functionality and quality of the final system, including documentation
  2. Use a checklist to monitor audit progress
  3. Document audit outcomes as the audit progresses
