This is a project-based assessment that assesses the student on their knowledge and performance of the unit. Testing Program debugging Gelos Enterprises Software Design Form accounts.txt (test data)
Submission instructions
What do I need to do to achieve a satisfactory result?	If a resit is required to achieve a satisfactory result it will be conducted at an agreed time after a suitable revision period.
What do I need to provide?	TAFE NSW student account username and password. If you do not know your username and password, contact your campus or service centre on 131601.
What the Teacher/Assessor will provide	Equipment/resources, including: If working in a classroom, computer with camera and microphone.
Due date Time allowed
Assessment feedback, review or appeals	In accordance with the TAFE NSW policy Manage Assessment Appeals, all students have the right to appeal an assessment decision in relation to how the assessment was conducted and the outcome of the assessment. Appeals must be lodged within 14 working days of the formal notification of the result of the assessment. If you would like to request a review of your results or if you have any concerns about your results, contact your Teacher/Assessor or Head Teacher. If they are unavailable, contact the Student Administration Officer.

Specific task instructions

Once completed, the recorded evidence will be submitted via the online platform to the Teacher/Assessor for marking.

This digital recording may be either an audio file (sound only) or video file (video and audio). You may use your computer webcam and capture software or your mobile phone. Ensure you have access to the required equipment and resources.

You have been employed as an ICT trainee with Gelos Enterprises. To further your training, the company has asked Christina Kaiser, the Software Development Team Leader, to train you in all aspects of programming and you have been assigned to a new programming project.

Gelos requires a simple login program with a menu of options:

Save file – usernames and passwords should be saved to a text file accounts.txt
Exit – delay for 2 seconds before exit

Part 1: The project brief

Task 1.1: Confirm work brief and clarify requirements – interactive video roleplay

Getting ready for the roleplay:

Table 2 Questions template

Create your recordings

The video will play, Christina will speak, and a message will appear asking you to record your question. Press pause on the video.
Use your device to start recording and proceed to record your first question.

If you are happy with your recordings, save the file(s), upload in the space provided and click ‘Submit’.

Task 1.2: Complete the Software Design Document

Part 2: Design the application

Task 2.2: Design data library variables

You will need to use variables in your application. In the space provided in the Gelos Software Design Document (Data Library Variables), list all of the variables needed for your design and identify how these variables will be used.

Task 2.5: Develop an algorithm

Develop an algorithm using a suitable tool such as pseudocode or a flowchart.

Paste a copy of the pseudocode or flowchart in the space provided in the Gelos Software Design Document (Program Algorithm).

Part 3: Develop the program

Task 3.1: Develop the program

For saving (write) and viewing (read) account details using file (accounts.txt), make use of control structures (selection and iteration as required).
Use expressions, constructs and logical operators to display main menu, log in, generate random password and create accounts. Remember to allow the users to select a menu option using either upper-case or lower-case characters (for example: a or A).

Now that you have designed and created the program, you will need to present it to your supervisor for feedback and approval. Submit these assessment pages and your Gelos Software Design Document via the online learning platform and await feedback before proceeding with the testing.

Part 4: Testing

Task 4.1: Test and record results

Test and record the results of your testing in the Software Test Report section of the Gelos Software Design Document. Be sure to include tests for all four menu options, as well as for menu options that do not exist, for example, try entering Q and test the results.

Task 4.3: Programmers checklist

Complete the programmer’s checklist in the Gelos Software Design Document to ensure you have completed all tasks.

Part 5: Program debugging

The program must ensure that the marks are between 0 and 100
Display the list/array of marks entered.

Observation Checklist

The Observation Checklist will be used by your Teacher/Assessor to mark your performance in the previous event type/s. Use this Checklist to understand what skills you need to demonstrate in the role play scenario, presentation or demonstration. The Checklist lists the assessment criteria used to determine whether you have successfully completed this assessment event. All the criteria must be met. Your demonstration will be used as part of the overall evidence requirements of the unit. The Teacher/Assessor may ask questions while the demonstration is taking place or if appropriate directly after the task/activity has been completed.
