Unit of Competency ICTPRG516 - Develop integration blueprint for ICT systems
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to document and to maintain the details of the technology, and architectural components, incorporated into the integration blueprint for an information and communications technology (ICT) system.It applies to individuals in senior roles in the development environment, who are required to integrate a series of components.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

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:

design specifications

a high-level, diagrammatic view of the main system components.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Review the technical architecture documents
  • Review the technical architecture documents, supplemented with discussions where necessary
  • Identify, and evaluate, technical considerations that cover the overall requirements and provide the best technical fit against requirements
  • Update the integration blueprint according to best-fit technical specifications
       
Element: Undertake compatibility tests
  • Assemble components and component technologies, according to design specifications
  • Test the components for functionality, against design specifications
  • Identify non-compliance, against technical specifications
  • Update the integration blueprint to reflect functionality and non-compliance changes
       
Element: Assess the risk areas
  • Identify the scope of the modifications required from the compatibility test
  • Negotiate the modifications required with the suppliers, based on the outcomes of the compatibility test
  • Update the integration blueprint to reflect modifications to risk areas
       
Element: Assess readiness for stress testing
  • Continue integration activities until the platform is stable
  • 4.2 Evaluate the platform's compliance with technical requirements
  • Update the integration blueprint for stress testing
