Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Represent the structured data with XML | 1.1 Gather information by analysing data, documents, and problem domains 1.2 Write a well-formed XML document by incorporating the appropriate structure and syntax 1.3 Validate the XML document using validation tools 1.4 Format the XML document using styling tools |
2. Access and manipulate the XML document | 2.1 Create a new XML document using an XML parser application programming interface (API) 2.2 Access and traverse elements, and attributes, using an XML parser API 2.3 Modify elements and attributes using an XML parser API 2.4 Delete elements and attributes using an XML parser API 2.5 Transform the XML document into a data object, using an XML parser API 2.6 Transform the data object into an XML document, using an XML parser API |
3. Create a service-oriented application using XML | 3.1 Define the web-services architecture and platform elements 3.2 Develop and deploy web-service applications using a language 3.3 Develop a client application to consume web service, using a language |
This section specifies different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.
Structure must include: | child element root element sub-child element. |
Syntax must use rules relating to: | case sensitivity closing tag entity reference proper nesting quoted attribute values single-root element. |
Evidence of the ability to:
gather relevant information and produce a well-formed, formatted and validated XML document
use an XML parser to access, modify and transform the XML documentation
create a service-oriented application using XML.
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:
outline the hierarchy and tree structure
explain the programming concept and language
describe the main features and services of the world wide web (WWW)
explain data modelling
outline commonly used items in hypertext markup language (HTML)
identify information system features
identify source characteristics.
Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the programming and software development industry, and include access to:
tools to access and develop a data source, such as an integrated development environment (IDE), a text editor and a web browser
specific requirements, including client and functionality requirements
a web server and software that hosts the services to deploy and test, the web-service application
libraries to develop the web service and client applications.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
