[Year 12 SofDev] U4O1 Task 2 - Report/Test

Tue Aug 16 08:10:45 EST 2011

Hi Kevork. The wording in the study design is not as clear as many would
like it to be.

And in the assessment book, did you read p.35-36, which covers U4O1?
If you read 36-37 you might have been reading U4O2, which also uses a
written report or test.

SD U4O1 Task 1 is the solution, including internal documentation.

SD U4O1 Task 2 Part 1 is the user documentation.
SD U4O1 Task 2 Part 2 is the explanation of how security and legal matters
are managed using either a written report or a test.

You'd think VCAA could have least started a new sentence to differentiate
between the two parts of task 2.

At least that's how I read it.

Cheers
Mark
