Elements and Performance Criteria

ELEMENT 

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA 

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Specify software application requirements

1.1 Identify required software application outcomes

1.2 Discuss expectations of final software application with required personnel

2. Determine script requirements

2.1 Identify main characteristics of scripting languages

2.2 Identify integrated development environment (IDE)

2.3 Identify protocols and object model used in chosen scripting language

3. Design and build scripts

3.1 Create pseudo code and describe logic required in script

3.2 Review pseudo code and amend missing logic and errors

3.3 Translate pseudo code into scripts, incorporating use of basic language elements

3.4 Incorporate item manipulation using chosen scripting language

4. Finalise scripts

4.1 Create internal documentation in script according to organisational procedures

4.2 Review, debug and document script according to organisational procedures

4.3 Finalise, save and confirm work with required personnel

Foundation Skills

This section describes those language, literacy, numeracy and employment skills that are essential to performance but not explicit in the performance criteria.

DESCRIPTION 

Reading
  • Applies applicable strategies and constructs meaning from requirements and technical documentation
  • Interprets and critically analyses, complex scripting language texts and pseudo code when reviewing and amends missing logic, error and bugs

Oral Communication
  • Uses listening and questioning techniques to confirm information and requirements using industry language for intended audience

Writing
  • Selects vocabulary, grammatical structures and conventions applicable to text when documenting script and using pseudocode

Planning and organising
  • Considers purpose, needs and limitations when selecting a framework and IDE in script building

Problem solving
