Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to apply the cyclic process of iteration from identification of class, instance, role and type to the final complete object-oriented model of the application.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Derive the high-level design from specification
  • 1.1 Develop a static class diagram from a given set of specifications
  • 1.2 Develop either a collaboration diagram or a sequence diagram from a given set of specifications
  • 1.3 Develop either an activity diagram or a state diagram from a given set of specifications
2. Refine the design
  • 2.1 Investigate and refine behaviour, state of classes and the collaboration between classes
  • 2.2 Validate the correct visibility of class services and state data
  • 2.3 Identify generalisations within classes
  • 2.4 Identify specialisations within classes
  • 2.5 Apply the principles of aggregation and composition to refine class design
3. Document the design
  • 3.1 Create detailed uniform modelling language (UML) static class diagrams
  • 3.2 Create detailed UML collaboration or sequence diagrams
  • 3.3 Create detailed UML activity or state diagrams
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Specifications may include:
specifications of a system or process application that includes use-case diagrams
requirements document.
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the ability to:
produce an object-oriented design from requirements documents or system specifications, including:
static class diagrams
collaboration or sequence diagrams
activity or state diagrams.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure access to:
system specifications
requirement documents
design specifications
detailed design
appropriate learning and assessment support when required
modified equipment for people with special needs.
Method of assessment
A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:
direct observation of candidate performing the process of iteration from identification of class, instance, role and type to the object-oriented model
verbal or written questioning to assess candidate’s knowledge of object-oriented techniques and analytical skills, including evaluating development methodologies to a project or scenario to the scope and tasks involved in the object-oriented design processes
review of documentation as required by the chosen methodology.
Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, where appropriate.
Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate, and suitable to the communication skill level, language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.
Indigenous people and other people from a non-English speaking background may need additional support.
In cases where practical assessment is used it should be combined with targeted questioning to assess required knowledge.
