Release 

Comments 

Release 1

This version first released with ICT Information and Communications Technology Training Package Version 1.0.

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

  • determine impact of user interface design in the system environment and identify appropriate data query and report formats
  • design menu structures according to design principles
  • design screen dialogues in line with requirements and acceptance criteria
  • design batch procedures
  • develop online help and tutorials for prototype.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

Knowledge Evidence

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

  • identify client business area
  • discuss current industry design principles
  • identify the general features and capabilities of current industry accepted hardware and software products
  • identify general features and capabilities of current industry accepted user interfaces
  • identify front-end systems
  • discuss GUI and web design principles.

Assessment Conditions

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 general information and communications technology (ICT) industry, and include access to:

  • design specifications
  • organisational standards for documentation and version control
  • project management process and hierarchy
  • a usability test plan
  • agreed usability metrics.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
