Formats and tools
- Unit Description
- Reconstruct the unit from the xml and display it as an HTML page.
- Assessment Tool
- an assessor resource that builds a framework for writing an assessment tool
- Assessment Template
- generate a spreadsheet for marking this unit in a classroom environment. Put student names in the top row and check them off as they demonstrate competenece for each of the unit's elements and performance criteria.
- Assessment Matrix
- a slightly different format than the assessment template. A spreadsheet with unit names, elements and performance criteria in separate columns. Put assessment names in column headings to track which performance criteria each one covers. Good for ensuring that you've covered every one of the performance criteria with your assessment instrument (all assessement tools together).
- Wiki Markup
- mark up the unit in a wiki markup codes, ready to copy and paste into a wiki page. The output will work in most wikis but is designed to work particularly well as a Wikiversity learning project.
- Evidence Guide
- create an evidence guide for workplace assessment and RPL applicants
- Competency Mapping Template
- Unit of Competency Mapping – Information for Teachers/Assessors – Information for Learners. A template for developing assessments for a unit, which will help you to create valid, fair and reliable assessments for the unit, ready to give to trainers and students
- Observation Checklist
- create an observation checklist for workplace assessment and RPL applicants. This is similar to the evidence guide above, but a little shorter and friendlier on your printer. You will also need to create a seperate Assessor Marking Guide for guidelines on gathering evidence and a list of key points for each activity observed using the unit's range statement, required skills and evidence required (see the unit's html page for details)
- Self Assessment Survey
- A form for students to assess thier current skill levels against each of the unit's performance criteria. Cut and paste into a web document or print and distribute in hard copy.
- Moodle Outcomes
- Create a csv file of the unit's performance criteria to import into a moodle course as outcomes, ready to associate with each of your assignments. Here's a quick 'how to' for importing these into moodle 2.x
- Registered Training Organisations
- Trying to find someone to train or assess you? This link lists all the RTOs that are currently registered to deliver ICTTEN808, 'Manage network testing strategies'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Manage network testing strategies' on fishpond.com.au. This online store has a huge range of books, pretty reasonable prices, free delivery in Australia *and* they give a small commission to ntisthis.com for every purchase, so go nuts :)
Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Plan test effort and develop test strategy for an application software | 1.1 Critically analyse functionalities of an application software from the system design document and create test strategy for new telecommunications product line 1.2 Produce steps for test strategy, including attributes of each step according to enterprise policy 1.3 Produce test strategy for evaluating suitability of application software for integration into telecommunications network 1.4 Critically analyse test strategy and identify types of risks that would hinder test performance or reality |
2. Plan test strategy for regime | 2.1 Produce phases of a test cycle for a test regime according to system design document 2.2 Assess a range of tests required to evaluate performance and functionality of application software and determine tests required to suit the test regime 2.3 Evaluate features of testing tool and debuggers and select an appropriate tool to test software application and detect faults 2.4 Evaluate elements of test plan that cover testing functionality of the application software |
3. Design test plan and produce test reviews | 3.1 Determine forecast time, effort and cost for low and medium intensity projects to perform testing 3.2 Develop a test case or test scenario with prerequisite states based on requirements to generate expected test results for test plan 3.3 Produce test plan for specific phases based on requirements of project specifications for the application software 3.4 Produce test reporting associated with particular test phases within test plan 3.5 Critically analyse test reports and evaluate impact of test plan on the testing environment 3.6 Manage progress of test plan to minimise risks associated with testing and ensure test compliance with test requirements 3.7 Report any detected defects to product evaluation personnel, and prepare a strategy to manage defects |
4. Manage test traceability | 4.1 Create a traceability matrix to correlate relationship between marketing requirements and detailed requirements of software product to matching parts of design, test plan and test cases 4.2 Critically analyse testing metrics produced by test tool to manage tracking of defects and plan process improvements based on the metrics 4.3 Produce an evaluation report from traceability matrix to manage defects or failures from the test plan |
