List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Develop client-server application | 1.1 Build and test object-oriented applications 1.2 Make use of features of language that enable inter-process communication through at least one mechanism 1.3 Make use of features of language that enable remote procedure calls (RPCs) using class based on multiple inheritances 1.4 Build programs using classes based on nested classes |
2. Develop graphical user interface (GUI) | 2.1 Code to implement drag and drop 2.2 Develop GUI help files 2.3 Code using 2-D graphics |
3. Build applications | 3.1 Code within existing architectural framework 3.2 Ensure code follows standards for object-oriented language 3.3 Develop application that includes data transfer between client and server 3.4 Review concept of design patterns used by architectural framework |
4. Debug code | 4.1 Use stand-alone debugging tools or tools provided by integrated development environment to examine running code 4.2 Detect logical and coding errors using debugger 4.3 Detect and correct errors by tracing code and examining variable content |
5. Test application | 5.1 Design and document tests to be performed 5.2 Undertake limited testing of produced code to ensure it complies with program specification 5.3 Document test results |
6. Document system | 6.1 Demonstrate adherence to guidelines for developing maintainable code and company or institutional coding standards 6.2 Create code using supplied design documents 6.3 Create and maintain program documentation 6.4 Ensure that user documentation in form of online help is built into applications |
Evidence of the ability to:
develop client-server applications using an object oriented language
produce a graphical user interface (GUI)
build, debug and test the applications
produce documentation for the applications.
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 architecture of a framework for web-enabled application development
summarise the techniques for implementing inter-process communication
describe the process for the development of large-size application
identify and outline testing techniques as applied to distributed application development
identify and outline techniques for implementing third-party supplied code.
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 field of work and include access to:
database management system (DBMS)
networked computers
software-development environment
technical requirements.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
