What an assessment for ICTTEN619 must cover

38 assessable components: 3 elements (14 performance criteria), 5 performance evidence and 10 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 9 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 Plan testing of new software and hardware releases

1.1Obtain manuals, specifications and instructions associated with new releases and identify areas of uncertainty for confirmation with the vendor
1.2Plan the testing environment of the software and hardware release with relevant personnel
1.3Determine resources required to assist with the test, and negotiate their availability
1.4Determine and plan outage and notify relevant personnel
1.5Notify relevant personnel of impact on the network during the test
1.6Develop contingency plans to cater for likely problems during the test

2 Test software and hardware releases

2.1Load new software and conduct tests using required test equipment according to vendor specifications
2.2Evaluate test results to assess functionality and features of software and hardware according to vendor documentation
2.3Test compatibility with existing network and take corrective action with vendor as required
2.4Implement contingency plans in conjunction with network management if integrity of the network is compromised by the new release

3 Complete testing of software and hardware releases

3.1Document test results and store according to enterprise policy
3.2Discuss ongoing and likely problems with the vendor and initiate follow-up arrangements to confirm a permanent solution
3.3Provide clearance for software and hardware release to be put in service in the system according to enterprise procedures
3.4Update system documentation and service catalogue systems, where required and communicate with operational teams.

Questions about assessing ICTTEN619

What does an assessment tool for ICTTEN619 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for ICTTEN619 needs to address all 38 unit components: 3 elements with 14 performance criteria, 5 performance evidence requirements, 10 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 ICTTEN619?

Auditori pulls the current release of ICTTEN619 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 ICTTEN619 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing ICTTEN619 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 ICTTEN619, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
