Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Develop algorithms to represent solutions to a given problem
  • 1.1 Consult with client and key stakeholders to identify the problem and associated script requirements
  • 1.2 Employ abbreviated software development cycle to script creation
  • 1.3 Develop an algorithm to solve the problem and meet client requirements
  • 1.4 Develop an algorithm which takes account of expected possible situations
  • 1.5 Develop an algorithm which is guaranteed to end
  • 1.6 Use structure, sequence, selection and iteration
2. Create code
  • 2.1 Select appropriate scripting language
  • 2.2 Demonstrate understanding and application of basic language syntax rules and best practices
  • 2.3 Select and use language data types, operators and expressions to create clear and concise code
  • 2.4 Use techniques of selection, iteration and sequence to control script execution flow
  • 2.5 Use techniques for sequential file input and output to retrieve and store information
  • 2.6 Obtain and use user input to affect the operation of the script
  • 2.7 Apply internal document principles to created code
  • 2.8 Follow organisational guidelines for developing maintainable code when creating scripts
  • 2.9 Adhere to coding standards when creating scripts
3. Use operating system tools
  • 3.1 Use searching and sorting tools to select information from the logging output of operating system (OS)
  • 3.2 Implement controls to ensure that where significant events occur, script creates and maintains a log of operations via operating system logging mechanism
  • 3.3 Register and run scripts with OS scheduling facility
4. Test and debug code
  • 4.1 Engineer, document and conduct simple tests to confirm code meets design specification
  • 4.2 Identify areas that are not covered or are covered incorrectly in the script
  • 4.3 Take action to ensure that code complies with security policy
  • 4.4 Take action to ensure that code operates with proper permissions
  • 4.5 Use script debugging techniques suitable for use with scripting language to detect and resolve errors of syntactical, logical and design origin
5. Document script
  • 5.1 Create technical-level documentation
  • 5.2 Create user-level documentation
