For Pass standard, learners will apply understanding through the planning and
development of a mobile app to meet identified requirements. Learners will produce
detailed designs for their mobile app, including user requirements, visual designs and
technical documentation. Learners must show evidence that they have sought feedback
on their suggested solutions and made use of this feedback to create a final design.
Learners must carry out and document a number of tests and reviews of the mobile app,
including use of test users and appropriate test plans, schedules and test data, to ensure
that the solution works and meets the identified criteria. They will provide evidence that
different types of testing have been carried out and that important problems and errors
identified have been addressed.
Learners must install the app on a target device and it must work, but there may be
some performance issues and/or the implemented solution may not be as efficient or
effective as it could be.
Learners will review how the decisions they made during planning and development
affected the final app, explaining to what extent it meets the initial project brief. They
must consider both positive and negative aspects of the app, although their review
may be unbalanced and/or superficial. Learners will make reference to the possible
alternative solutions that could be implemented.
