Unit of Competency ICTWEB515 - Implement and use web services
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to support web services for building distributed applications.It applies to individuals working as software developers who have specialised skills in the consumption of web services, related communications protocols and the associated extensible markup language (XML) technologies, used in web services.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 website technologies field of work, and include access to:

the web service business requirement specifications

industry standards published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)

platform-specific documentation and help files, describing the syntax and use of proprietary technologies

a simulated development environment, incorporating the following elements:

a relational database server

the integrated development environment (IDE), including related frameworks, APIs and associated proprietary classes, required to implement web services and their enabling technologies

a web server

web browsers

XML editors

XPath testing utilities.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
