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!

4.4 Manage defects

Evidence of the ability to:

apply test case design techniques to develop a test plan, and to test cases that adequately cover specific test requirements

design, implement and execute test procedures, or scripts, by using a unit test framework and an integrated development environment (IDE)

create test progress reports based on recorded test results.

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:

describe the characteristics of programming languages

explain input and output requirements

outline the life cycle for software development

outline the processes and techniques for testing small-size applications.
