Performance Evidence
The candidate must demonstrate the ability to complete the tasks outlined in the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit, including evidence of the ability to:
- design and build a fully functional graphical user interface (GUI) according to specifications and organisational standards.
In the course of the above, the candidate must:
- demonstrate a GUI in concept and compiled form
- use applicable development tools in GUI construction
- confirm functionality of GUI on at least two different browsers and at least two different devices.
Knowledge Evidence
The candidate must be able to demonstrate knowledge to complete the tasks outlined in the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit, including knowledge of:
- object oriented programming concepts applicable to building graphical user interfaces
- system properties applicable to building a graphical user interface
- application development languages and prototyping tools and features included
- application programming interface (API) features
- open-source development tools
- organisational standards and codes of practice applicable to GUI building
- key testing procedures and documentation techniques required when building graphical user interfaces
- issues relating to copyright and intellectual property, privacy and data access legislation.
Assessment Conditions
Skills in this unit must be demonstrated in a workplace or simulated environment where the conditions are typical of those in a working environment in this industry.
This includes access to:
- GUI requirements documentation
- online tools available for prototyping and GUI design
- applicable organisational standards
- an integrated development environment (IDE) for determined language
- required hardware and its components
- required software, tools and licenses
- browsers and devices.
