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!

ICTWEB406 - Create website testing procedures

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

Document and define the performance criteria

  1. Review the performance specifications and determine the benchmark criteria
  2. Validate and document the performance functions
  3. Select the measurement methodology, and test it on the website
  4. Validate each performance function separately
  5. Record and document the metric tools, using the appropriate methodology
  6. Prepare the performance benchmarks, and seek agreement on the criteria with the client

Validate the performance measures

  1. Develop inspection and test plans, in order to validate performance measures throughout the performance cycle
  2. Test the performance functions, and record the results, according to technical documentation standards
  3. Compare the results of performance function testing to benchmark
  4. Redesign functions that do not meet the appropriate performance benchmarks
  5. Re-implement functions that have been redesigned during performance testing
  6. Document the benchmarks and obtain sign-off

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
