I. Introduction (Time Frame: 1 hour)

Presentation
Documentations and interpretations of data/testing criteria has a vital role in an organization. As an aspiring computer
technician, you must learn the different types of documentation in computer science and how to interpret it. You will also learn
the criteria for testing electronic components based on manufacturer standard procedure and based on skills of computer
hardware/network technician.

A. Directions: Read the questions carefully. Write your answer on a separate sheet.

1. Share your personal insights about the word “documentation”.

Types of Documentation in Computer Science (ICT)

The following are typical software documentation types:

Request for Proposal (RFP) – a business document that announces a project, describes it, and solicits bids from qualified
contractors to complete it.
Statement of work/ Scope of Work (SOW) - is a document routinely employed in the field of project management. It is the
narrative description of a project's work requirement.
Software Design - the process by which an agent creates a specification of a software artifact intended to accomplish goals,
using a set of primitive components and subject to constraints.
System Design - the process of defining the components, modules, interfaces, and data for a system to satisfy specified
requirements.
Functional Specification- is a formal document used to describe a product's intended capabilities, appearance, and
interactions with users in detail for software developers.
User Acceptance Testing - it consists of a process of verifying that a solution works for the user.
Manpages - is a form of software documentation usually found on a Unix or Unix-like operating system

The following are typical hardware and service documentation types:

Network diagrams - is a schematic depicting the nodes and connections amongst nodes in a computer network or, more
generally, any telecommunications network.
Network maps - a visualization of devices on a network, their inter-relationships, and the transport layers providing network
services.
Datasheet for IT systems - a document that summarizes the performance and other characteristics of a product, machine,
component, material, subsystem, or software in sufficient detail that allows a buyer to understand what the
product is and a design engineer to understand the role of the component in the overall system.

Data interpretation is the process of reviewing data through some predefined processes which will help assign some meaning
to the data and arrive at a relevant conclusion. It involves taking the result of data analysis, making inferences on
the relations studied, and using them to conclude.
Four Steps to Data interpretation

Step 1: Assemble the Information You'll Need

Step 2: Develop Findings
Step 3: Develop Conclusions
Step 4: Develop Recommendations

Electronic Components are essential elements of circuit which helps in its functioning. These elements are found in the
tangible aspect of computer system which is commonly known as the computer hardware, most of these elements are found
especially in the inside box of the system unit.

Criteria for Testing Electronic Components based on Manufacturer Standard Procedure

Functionality - Can be performed on hardware or software products to verify that your product functions exactly as
designed. The general purpose of hardware functionality testing is to verify if the product performs as expected and
documented, typically in technical or functional specifications.
Compatibility - Is performed to make sure your product functions in its targeted use environment (e.g., different platforms,
operating systems, chipsets, peripherals, manufacturers, etc.).
Performance - Validates that your product functions acceptably for the market in which you are releasing your product. No
one wants a product that they have to wait for or that feels sluggish.

Usability - Is performed to provide an independent analysis of a product in terms of how easy or difficult it is to use. This may
cover documentation, installation, and product use cases. In addition, a range of different user experience levels may be
evaluated.
Automation - Allows you to perform repetitive testing quickly and easily by scripting your product with one of many different
industry tools.
Competitive Analysis - Compares your product to similar products already in the marketplace. These may be products that
you have previously released or competitive products, so that you can highlight your advantages – whether performance or
usability.

Criteria for Testing Electronic Components Based on Skills of Computer Hardware / Network Technician

Interacting with computers. Using a computer or computing system for a computer hardware field technician means
speaking the machine’s language.
Collecting data and information. Being a computer hardware field technician is not unlike being a private eye. Much of your
job involves diagnosing and repairing a problem; this task has a lot in common with solving a mystery.
Problem-solving and decision-making. Problem-solving is vital to being a computer hardware field technician. Connecting
the dots to determine the problem and then deciding the correct course of action to take in order to solve the problem is a
very important part of the job.
Communication. Communication is a key skill in almost any job. Every day we communicate with others, whether it’s face to
face, on the phone, or via email or instant message.
Consulting and advising others. A computer hardware field technician often ends up advising others on a variety of tasks. A
good field technician can foresee the outcomes and effects of various IT strategies and advise management as to the best
course of action accordingly.
Inspecting equipment, structures, or material. A computer hardware field technician must ensure that the equipment is
operating properly within its environment. In order to determine what is not working properly, a technician must have a firm
understanding of the equipment and all its components and how they work together to perform properly.
Documenting and recording information. There are baseline metrics that computer hardware field technicians must keep
track of in order to properly diagnose a healthy network or computer system. This information is essential to ensuring the
system is running properly.
Developing objectives and strategies. In order to create a smooth working network, a good IT technician must maintain a
proactive strategy that involves maintenance, frequent virus scans, and creating safeguards. These activities will help to
prevent any major issues or problems.
Training and teaching others. There are two main tiers of training for a computer hardware field technician. The first is creating
a best-practices environment by offering continual training that keeps staff members up to date on new developments in the
IT field. The other is training users on how to correct or prevent any problems or issues that may arise.
