Build a document using eXtensible markup language

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to design, and build, a valid extensible markup language (XML) document to suit a specified requirement.

It applies to individuals working in development roles in a variety of information technology areas who are technically proficient in the use of XML documents.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)


Evidence Required

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. Plan the process

1.1 Review the specified requirements

1.2 Produce a plan to analyse the specified requirements

1.3 Plan the design, and build, of valid XML documentation, allowing for iterative development

2. Analyse the specified requirements

2.1 Determine and document the purpose, expectations and functionality of the XML document

2.2 Determine the hardware, software and tools needed to design the document

2.3 Determine the requirements for the document

2.4 Determine the appropriate design methodologies, including using the software engineering life cycle

3. Design and develop the document

3.1 Decide on document type definition (DTD), if required

3.2 Define the required entities, elements and their attributes

3.3 Produce the document, following the appropriate standards and declaring DTD, required entities, elements and their attributes, including associated graphics or sounds

4. Test the document

4.1 Test the document off-line against the specifications, and confirm the document's validity

4.2 Test, where appropriate, the document online against the specifications, and with a representative audience

4.3 Analyse the test results and confirm the document’s validity

Evidence of the ability to:

review the specifications, and plan the design of an extensible markup language (XML) document

determine specific requirements

produce a valid XML document, following the appropriate standards

test an XML document

evaluate the test results.

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:

explain business process and information modelling

describe markup language

explain unified-modelling language

describe the hardware and software implications for XML programming

identify and summarise, the various standards that will impact on XML programming.

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 website technologies field of work, and include access to:

the client or business requirements

an XML parser or suitable web browser

a XML authoring tool.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here

Assessment task 1: [title]      Due date:

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

Assessment Tasks

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.

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.
