Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to ensure that the properties of an entire system are tested and proved adequate before handover to the user for final acceptance testing.It applies to individuals employed in a range of information and communications technology (ICT) work environments who apply specialised and technical knowledge and systematic approaches to testing, fault finding and problem solving.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Prepare for test
  • 1.1 Determine acceptance criteria from system specifications
