Requirements, feasibility, project management, implementation, testing and user support.
These are the statements the Information Processes and Technology syllabus makes about Developing Information Systems. Dux records each one against the questions you answer, so you can see which of them you have actually been tested on and which have never been asked.
Development approaches, modular design and the implementation of an information system.
Scheduling, resources, risk and communication across a project with multiple participants.
Usability, consistency and feedback, and evaluating an interface against a real task.
Gathering requirements and judging technical, economic, schedule and operational feasibility.
Direct, parallel, phased and pilot conversion, and the risk each carries.
Unit, system and acceptance testing, and test data that actually exercises the boundaries.
User and technical documentation, and the training that determines whether a system is adopted.
Post-implementation review, corrective and adaptive maintenance, and acting on what the review finds.
HSC Information Processes and Technology - Examination Shape is 100 marks in 180 minutes. Questions on Developing Information Systems are not one shape repeated: the command word decides what the marker is looking for, and the mark value decides how much of it. These are the ones Information Processes and Technology uses.
Dux writes practice for this module in exactly these shapes, so the drill is the same task the paper sets — not a general knowledge quiz with the module name on it.
Developing Information Systems is module 3 of 4 in Information Processes and Technology. Students routinely lose marks because a question spans two modules, so the neighbouring modules are worth reading next to this one.
Dux diagnoses Information Processes and Technology dot point by dot point, then writes questions in the shape this course marks. Written answers come back marked against the bands.
