Unit of Competency ICTPRG517 - Install, test and evaluate pilot version of ICT system
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to install a pilot version of a developed information and communications (ICT) system, and test it with a small group of users, in order to evaluate it against the agreed criteria.It applies to individuals who are senior staff in a development area who are required to test and evaluate new systems.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 the:

pilot system

planning documentation, including acceptance criteria

technical materials

interaction with others involved in the pilot.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
