Overview of assessment

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

Evidence of the ability to

prepare an architecture plan with solutions and alternative solutions

develop interface requirements for effective solutions across multiple architectures

manage solution architecture systems integration

analyse impact of proposed project solutions on customers and enterprise

prepare evidence for customer acceptance and certification of the system integration management plan

produce final project management requirements

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure

site where the development and management of solution architecture systems integration across multiple architectures may be conducted

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 implementing system integration

direct observation of the candidate performing a systematic approach to test and analysis of problems arising

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

oral or written questioning of the candidate to assess required knowledge

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector workplaces and job role is recommended for example

ICTTENA Manage end to end architectural solutions across multiple domains

ICTTEN7221A Manage end to end architectural solutions across multiple domains.

Aboriginal people and other people from a nonEnglish speaking background may have second language issues

Access must be provided to appropriate learning and assessment support when required

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the oral communication skill level and language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed
