What an assessment for ICTGAM553 must cover

54 assessable components: 7 elements (26 performance criteria), 4 performance evidence and 18 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 6 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 Install application programming interfaces

1.1Research application programming interfaces (APIs) according to client requirements
1.2Identify specific APIs required for game architecture and data source provider
1.3Install nominated APIs on game development computers according to technical specifications

2 Define and use connection to data source

2.1Define required game data source connection parameters
2.2Store connection parameters in required external text-based configuration file
2.3Open and close connection to game data source

3 Configure and use connection pooling

3.1Configure connection pooling in the database management system
3.2Define connection pool parameters for minimum connections, maximum connections, and idle connections
3.3Minimise use of database resources through connection pooling
3.4Test and verify use of connection pooling according to organisational requirements

4 Pass embedded non/structured query language (SQL) to a database

4.1Define database connection property
4.2Compose structured query language (SQL) or non-SQL statement to be passed to database
4.3Test, debug and execute the statement according to organisational requirements

5 Execute stored procedures

5.1Call stored procedure on database and use command callable statement
5.2Define and pass parameters to stored procedure
5.3Test, debug and execute database stored procedure according to organisational requirements

6 Modify database data

6.1Retrieve result sets from the database into game application domain
6.2Insert new records into database
6.3Update existing database records
6.4Integrate data from forward-only and read-only cursor into game application domain
6.5Incorporate data from updateable cursor into game application domain

7 Test and debug database integration code

7.1Test database integration code and document results according to organisational requirements
7.2Determine errors and exceptions and document solutions
7.3Debug all errors and exceptions
7.4Assess data modifications, identify and fix errors
7.5Submit all documentation to required personnel and seek and respond to feedback

Performance evidence

integrate, test and modify two sets of database data provided by game-play input and document all errors and solutions on at least two occasions.
In the course of the above, the candidate must:
determine and install application programming interfaces (API) for games development
define and add database functionality to an online game.

Knowledge evidence

relational database methodologies, including;
creating and testing stored procedures
‘embedded’ structured query language (SQL) and assigning parameters in code for filtering
implementing relationships between tables
retrieving data from multiple tables using SQL
how inserts to tables in parent/child relationships can be implemented using artificial (auto-generated) primary key values
implementing cascading updates and deletes
principles of game development applicable to integrating databases with online games
principles of integrated development environments, including:
data access APIs and associated classes, required for the integration of a database with an online game
online help and documentation required for research and debugging code
user authentication and authorisation management
methodologies and techniques required for effective and well-factored object-oriented program (OOP) code, including:
class implementation
control of logic flow
use of collections and lists
use of OOP concepts, including inheritance, encapsulation and overloading
implications of web development on games integration.

Foundation skills

Oral communication: Articulates requirements and responsibilities distinctively using industry standard technical language intended for audience and environment
Reading: Identifies and evaluates documents containing complex technical terminology to identify which APIs are suited to the game application domain and the game architecture
Writing: Uses programming code, syntax and conventions to update, test and de-bug the database integration code Documents test results and technical solutions, using applicable industry terminology
Planning and organising: Plans, organises and completes work according to project brief and schedules, sequencing tasks to achieve efficient outcome
Problem solving: Sources and analyses reference materials related to database integration Uses creativity and initiative in database assessment and design Uses systematic, analytical processes in complex, routine and non-routine situations, gathering information, evaluating options, and identifying solutions to coding problems
Technology: Uses key features, of specific digital systems and software effectively to complete defined tasks

Questions about assessing ICTGAM553

What does an assessment tool for ICTGAM553 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for ICTGAM553 needs to address all 54 unit components: 7 elements with 26 performance criteria, 4 performance evidence requirements, 18 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 ICTGAM553?

Auditori pulls the current release of ICTGAM553 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 ICTGAM553 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing ICTGAM553 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 ICTGAM553, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
