Calculating the Points The number of points available for each unit depends on the unit grade achieved. Units 1 and 2 in the Cambridge Technicals in IT are 90 GLH; all other units are 60 GLH. The table below shows the number of points issued for each grade. To calculate the learner’s qualification grade you will need to add up all the points for the units the learner has achieved, making sure they’ve covered the appropriate mandatory content, taken sufficient externally assessed units, and any units required for the chosen pathway.

Assessment Criteria LO Pass Merit Distinction The assessment criteria are the Pass requirements for this unit. To achieve a Merit the evidence must show that, in addition to the pass criteria, the candidate is able to: To achieve a Distinction the evidence must show that, in addition to the pass and merit criteria, the candidate is able to: 1 - Understand the product development life cycle P1 - Outline the phases of the product development life cycle M1 - Compare and contrast different product development methodologies D1 - Assess the potential impact of constraints upon product development 2 - Be able to design products that meet identified client requirements P2* - Develop a product requirements specification to meet an identified client’s requirements P3 - Present an outline of the design solutions to the identified client and obtain feedback M2 - Agree the inclusion of features that extend or enhance the functionality of the chosen design solution with the identified client 3 - Be able to implement and test products P4 - Develop the product in line with the agreed design solution P5 - Conduct product testing M3 - Analyse the results of testing and recommend improvements and enhancements to the design solution 4 - Be able to carry out acceptance testing with clients P6 - Carry out acceptance testing for users in line with the agreed design solution D2 - Discuss with the identified client potential enhancements, upgrades and maintenance of the final product

Assessment Criteria This LO is about learners carrying out the implementation phase and the first part of the testing phase, using the design solution agreed with the client in the previous LO and including an implementation plan and proposed acceptance test plan. P4 - Learners must develop a product in line with the agreed design solution, following the implementation plan and keeping an implementation log. It is expected that the product will be complete and that it will meet all aspects of the agreed design solution. Evidence of development will consist of the completed implementation log (e.g. the annotated implementation plan); other documentation (e.g. photos, videos, and screenshots) and the actual product. In addition, learners must test the product as it is being developed; evidence of this unit testing and integration testing could be included in the implementation log. The implementation log should show that unit testing and integration testing have taken place during implementation. P5 - Learners must create a product test plan and use this to carry out testing of the completed product at the end of implementation. The product test plan must be sufficiently detailed to enable full testing against the agreed design specification. Learners must clearly evidence that a test plan has been created and followed. M3 - Learners are required to analyse the results of testing. This could be the results of any testing carried out on the product, i.e. unit testing and integration testing during implementation or product testing against the agreed design solution. Furthermore, learners are required to recommend improvements and enhancements (at least one of each) to the product. The evidence should give details and a justification of all improvements and enhancements. Learners are not required to implement the improvements and enhancements; the focus of M3 is on the analysis of the test results and the further development ideas that flow from that.

P4.1 - Develop the product – Design Logs It is time to make the product according to the specifications outlined in Lo2 and in line with the client needs and additional implementations. Before you start, you will need to keep an implementation log for the examiner to see the progress that was made on the project and how it has adapted. These logs need to contain all the stages of production including but not exclusively: Sketches and Designs Sourcing materials Implementation Discussion with Clients Prototype Unit testing Integration testing Completion Client needs testing Documentation P4.1 – Task 01 - Learners must develop a product in line with the agreed design solution, following the implementation plan and keeping an implementation log.

Date Task Progress Made Milestones and dependencies Outcome linked to client needs

P4.2 - Testing the Product You need to create a range of different kinds of testing of the product so that it meets the client and user needs. Whatever the product is it will need some for of testing to ensure the quality of production, usability and suitability for the purpose. Unit testing – Testing the product as it is being created, how it holds together, the usability and suitability, from the quality of materials used, the quality of data gathering or novelty. Evidence must be clear that this is testing during production. Integration testing – testing the finished product is suitable for purpose, specific to the users needs, the project specification and in line with documentation and purpose. Product testing – testing the product against the users needs and possible success criteria as stated in LO2. This should cover all the needs of the user including. P4.2 – Task 02 – Test the product at 3 different stages using a test table to track your progress.

P4.3 - Develop the product – Implementation It is expected that the product will be complete and that it will meet all aspects of the agreed design solution. The documentation t evidence this should consist of: Photos, or videos, and screenshots Evidence of the actual product. Evidence of design logs Annotated evidence of the product being used Evidence of the testing stages (taken from the previous task) This evidence can be presented within a PowerPoint so that it can be demonstrated to the examiner. It must contain notes for the examiner to read. P4.3 – Task 03 – Complete the product creation so that it is in line with the agreed solution. Again if this product is the sum of another unit, then the product will need to be included with this project and marked as evidence. The quality of the finished product is not an issue but needs to be completed, tested and evidenced separate from the other unit. Testing of the product within the other unit will count towards this unit grade, so include this, as will possible client discussions, contact and presentations.

P5.1 - Conducting Product Testing It is time for the final testing stage and this is to test against the Client needs now that the project is finished. These tests need to be more comprehensive than the previous production and progress testing. The tests have to be specific for the client needs stated in LO2 and need to include: What they want from the product Costs of production Use of materials (hardware or software) Usability of the product Reliability of the product The integration of the extensions or enhancement to the functionality of the chosen design solution specified in LO2. P5.1 – Task 04 – Carry out product testing so that it is in line with the agreed client needs, suggested enhancement and final solution.

M3.1 - Conducting Product Testing You are required to analyse the results of testing. Using the tests created take 3 from each test table, unit testing and integration testing during implementation and 4 from the product testing against the agreed design solution. For each of these, recommend improvements and enhancements to the product based on the testing of that area. The evidence should give details and a justification of all improvements and enhancements. Outline the report as such: Testing Stage Test Number What was tested and why Results of test Improvements to the product that could be made based on the test. What carrying out these improvements would entail Justification of these improvements to the user. Justification of these improvements to the client. You are not required to evidence or implement these improvements, just explain what they are, what could be improved and how it would make things better.
