Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the ability to

evaluate tools and techniques for architectural design

analyse design options for optimal solutions

develop interface requirements for effective solutions across multiple domains

manage end to end systems integration

incorporate components of an architecture from a third party

manage requirements for the architecture solution

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure

site where architecture solutions across multiple domains can be managed

simulation software tools currently used in industry

vendor products specifications equipment and enterprise policy required for the activity

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge The following examples are appropriate for this unit

direct observation of the candidate managing end to end architectural solutions across multiple domains

review of evaluations documents and evidence for customer acceptance prepared by the candidate
