Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to design and implement procedures that measure the performance of a website and compare them to the initial design specifications.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Document and define performance criteria
  • 1.1 Review performance specifications and determine benchmark criteria
  • 1.2 Validate and document performance functions
  • 1.3 Select measurement methodology and test on website
  • 1.4 Validate each performance function separately
  • 1.5 Record and document metric tools using appropriate methodology
  • 1.6 Prepare performance benchmarks and seek agreement on criteria with the client
2. Validate performance measures
  • 2.1 Develop inspection and test plans to validate performance measures throughout the performance cycle
  • 2.2 Test performance functions and record results according to technical documentation standards
  • 2.3 Compare results of performance function testing to benchmark
  • 2.4 Redesign functions that do not meet appropriate performance benchmarks
  • 2.5 Re-implement functions that have been redesigned in performance testing
  • 2.6 Document benchmarks and obtain sign-off
3. Obtain sign-off
  • 3.1 Validate and document performance standards and benchmarks
  • 3.2 Submit methodology and function testing document and results to client for approval
  • 3.3 Review client comments and make changes as appropriate
  • 3.4 Obtain sign-off for website testing procedure
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.

Client may include:
external organisations
individuals
internal departments
internal employees
people who may have special needs.
Technical documentation standards may include:
audit trails
International Organization for Standardization (ISO), International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and Australian Standards (AS)
naming standards
organisational standards
policy relating to sign-off, storage, distribution, revision
project management templates
report writing principles
version control.
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:
identify the critical functions to be tested
develop appropriate metrics for each function and assign benchmarked performance standards
test each performance function and compare against the appropriate benchmarks in order to validate site performance against technical requirements
document results to establish the performance benchmarks for subsequent site development.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure access to:
analysis software
ebusiness website
industry standards and organisational guidelines
site design and technical requirements documentation
site-development software and tools
appropriate learning and assessment support when required.
Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified 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 selecting and conducting tests in adherence with operational procedures
review of candidate’s documented procedures that measure the performance of a website
verbal or written questioning to assess knowledge of:
validation of performance standards and benchmarks
testing procedures
analysis techniques for results.
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.
