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!

Evidence of the ability to:

develop a test schedule

manage the testing procedure and process

review the system based on test outcomes to determine acceptability.

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:

compare and contrast testing techniques and automated test tools, explaining the key features and processes of each

describe the key features of organisational procedures relating to the testing process

explain system requirements describing key requirements and features

analyse the system or application being tested.
