Course Description

This unit may apply to switching, transmission and radio (both fixed and mobile) network and the various transmission paths i.e. cable, optic fibre, radio, microwave and satellite. This unit applies to computer systems including Local Area Networks (LANs) and Wide Area Networks (WANs).


National Codes, Titles, Elements and Performance Criteria

National Element Code & Title:

ICTTC036C Undertake qualification testing of new or enhanced equipment and systems

Element:

1. Ensure conformity of international design

Performance Criteria:

Original design is checked to ensure conformity with Australian electrical and safety standards.

Customers specific design requirements are considered.

Negotiations are undertaken with customers in order to fully understand their needs.

Reconfiguration of design is undertaken where necessary.

Design specifications are rewritten to cater for configuration amendments.

Element:

2. Plan and establish test regime

Performance Criteria:

#
Type and number of tests is planned to ensure a full trial of new or enhanced design.

Test environment is chosen and established to ensure total validity of chosen tests.

Plan is designed to ensure greatest coverage for minimal tests.

Details of tests required and desired outcome is fully documented.

Tests are designed to not only test new or changed system but to also test impact on existing systems.

Element:

3. Undertake tests

Performance Criteria:

Test regime is studied and understood and planners questioned where doubts exist as to full requirement.

Test instruments are checked to ensure they meet required standards.

Tests are conducted in logical and sequential order and in accordance with planned test regime.

Difficulties experienced during the test are discussed with system experts and/or designers.

Trouble reports are prepared and submitted in accordance with enterprise policy where required.

Test results are documented progressively.

Element:

4. Analyse test results

Performance Criteria:

Test results are analysed against design specifications and planned outcomes.

Major deficiencies are referred back to designers with a full report as to results and with recommendations for design change where appropriate.

Minor variances are analysed and solutions to problems developed.

Changes to specifications as a result of minor changes are clearly documented.

Element:

5. Retest design changes

Performance Criteria:

Design and specification changes made as a result of original tests are retested.

Further tests are analysed against specifications and planned outcomes.

Results of tests are fully documented and recorded in accordance with enterprise policy.
