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. Monitor data conversion | 1.1 Obtain the conversion supporting documentation, and apply it to the conversion process 1.2 Protect production data, by taking action to ensure backup before the conversion 1.3 Determine the requirements of the client, and the impact on the business operation 1.4 Identify and confirm the software, hardware or environmental prerequisites in the conversion plan 1.5 Validate data accuracy and integrity, according to conversion specifications 1.6 Identify data rejected by conversion tools, and carry out the actions detailed in the conversion plan 1.7 Document the data rejection or errant behaviour of the conversion process |
2. Support conversion | 2.1 Verify the results 2.2 Present results to the appropriate person and obtain sign-off 2.3 Maintain and document backup copies of the conversion files, according to requirements 2.4 Develop clear and coherent technical documentation |
Evidence of the ability to:
obtain and apply the conversion supporting documentation
ensure backup before conversion
determine client requirements, and the impact on the business operation
identify and confirm the software, hardware or environmental prerequisites in the plan
validate data accuracy and integrity, according to the specifications
identify the data rejected by the conversion tools, and carry out actions specified in the plan
document any data rejection or errant behaviour of the process
verify the results, presenting them to the appropriate person and obtaining sign-off
maintain and document backup copies of the conversion files, according to requirements
develop clear and coherent technical documentation.
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 current data modelling methodologies
explain current industry data conversion tools
describe current industry-accepted hardware and software products, including their general features and capabilities
explain data conversion from legacy systems.
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 the:
conversion specifications
data conversion plan
documentation guidelines
sample data to be converted
data conversion tools.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
