What an assessment for ICTCLD513 must cover

34 assessable components: 5 elements (17 performance criteria), 6 performance evidence and 8 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 3 foundation skills. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Prepare to build cloud-based microservices architecture

1.1Confirm work brief and tasks for microservices architecture according to organisational policies and procedures
1.2Confirm organisation’s container technology for use in cloud environments
1.3Establish organisational API preferences, semantics and versioning schemes
1.4Obtain required application documentation and source code according to organisational policies and procedures

2 Identify required services

2.1Review application documentation and source code, and determine microservice candidates
2.2Select independent services to avoid duplication of business logic across multiple services

3 Prepare APIs

3.1Define suitable API for each microservice
3.2Use API gateways in microservices according to work brief
3.3Adjust service code as needed to support defined API
3.4Adjust application code to call service APIs according to work brief

4 Build and deploy cloud-based microservices architecture

4.1Define and build containers for each service using modified source code
4.2Deploy containers in cloud-based platform
4.3Configure cloud environment components
4.4Confirm that applications and services can communicate according to work brief

5 Test and document cloud-based microservice architecture

5.1Test application and demonstrate working functionality
5.2Troubleshoot problems in testing and update services until application is functioning as expected
5.3Update application documentation according to organisational requirements

Performance evidence

develop an application with at least two cloud-based microservices using containers
extract and deploy services from a monolithic application using containers
build and deploy containers using application code provided in work brief
demonstrate that services and applications are communicating and working as intended
troubleshoot and rectify issues across deployed services
apply required organisational policies and procedures

Knowledge evidence

characteristics of cloud-based microservices architecture, including: - smart endpoints and dumb pipes - decentralised governance - decentralised data management - design for failure - infrastructure automation
advantages and disadvantages of microservices compared to monolithic architectures
benefits of using containers in microservices architecture
industry-standard tools for building and deploying containers in a cloud environment
common methods of defining application programming interfaces (APIs) for a service endpoint
industry-recognised software and hardware required to configure cloud-based microservices architecture, including container technology
methods for migrating monolithic application to a microservice architecture
organisational policies and procedures, and legislative requirements relating to work tasks

Foundation skills

Reading: Organises, evaluates and critiques ideas and information from a range of complex texts
Planning and organising: Identifies key factors that impact on decisions and their outcomes, drawing on experience, competing priorities, and decision-making strategies. Plans strategic priorities and outcomes in a flexible, efficient and effective context and diverse environment exposed to competing demands
Self-management: Develops and implements strategies that confirm that organisational policies and procedures, and regulatory requirements are being met

Questions about assessing ICTCLD513

What does an assessment tool for ICTCLD513 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for ICTCLD513 needs to address all 34 unit components: 5 elements with 17 performance criteria, 6 performance evidence requirements, 8 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for ICTCLD513?

Auditori pulls the current release of ICTCLD513 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for ICTCLD513 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing ICTCLD513 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of ICTCLD513, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
