Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to analyse, design, build and test a dynamic website to meet technical requirements.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Define and analyse technical requirements
  • 1.1 Identify business requirements and appropriate standards
  • 1.2 Determine and document the purpose, expectations and functionality of the website
  • 1.3 Analyse the user-interface design requirements, including user needs, design principles and operating systems
2. Produce software design specifications
  • 2.1 Produce a hierarchy of the website showing navigation
  • 2.2 Ensure content is logical and accessible to user
  • 2.3 Produce prototype of the user interface
  • 2.4 Determine and document the architectural requirements
  • 2.5 Design data storage requirements
3. Develop website to the specified design
  • 3.1 Create software components of the website
  • 3.2 Test components of the website
  • 3.3 Integrate components to produce the web application
4. Test web application
  • 4.1 Test website against the requirements
  • 4.2 Complete and document the design structure
  • 4.3 Obtain client feedback and adjust web applications as appropriate
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Document may include:
software requirement specifications
unified modelling language (UML) diagrams
wireframes.
Prototype may be in the form of:
images of sample web pages
non-functional static website to demonstrate what the site will look like.
Architectural requirements may be in reference to:
classes required to build the application
configuration
operating system
software.
Data storage may include:
database
files, such as eXtensible markup language (XML).
Components may include:
classes required to build the application
flash movies
JavaScript
jQuery
shopping cart
web user controls.
Design structure may include:
cascading style sheet (CSS)
eXtensible hypertext markup language (XHTML).
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the ability to:
analyse, design, implement and test a website to meet technical requirements
create efficient and effective code to meet technical requirements.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure access to:
appropriate learning and assessment support when required
modified equipment for people with special needs
development environment
server access
database server
browsers.
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:
review of documentation and code of an implemented and tested web application prepared by candidate
evaluation of candidate's completed website.
Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, where appropriate.
Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate, and suitable to the communication skill level, language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.
Indigenous people and other people from a non-English speaking background may need additional support.
In cases where practical assessment is used it should be combined with targeted questioning to assess required knowledge.
