Installation and integration
Systems integration (SINT)
The incremental and logical integration and testing of components and/or subsystems and their interfaces in order to create operational systems.
Level 2 Produces software builds from software source code. Conducts tests as defined in an integration test specification, records the details of any failures and carries out fault diagnosis relating to simple failures, reporting the results of the diagnosis in a clear and concise manner.
Level 3 Defines the integration build and produces a build definition for generation of the software. Accepts software modules from software developers and produces software builds for loading onto target hardware from software source code. Configures the hardware environment, produces integration test specifications, conducts tests and records the details of any failures. Carries out and reports fault diagnosis relating to moderately complex problems.
Level 4 Defines the integration build, accepts software modules from software developers and produces software builds for loading onto the target environment. Configures the hardware environment, produces integration test specifications and conducts tests, recording details of any failures and carrying out fault diagnosis.
Level 5 Designs and builds integration components and interfaces. Leads practical implementation work under the technical direction of the system designer/architect. May contribute to the overall design of the solution. May define the technical criteria for product/component selection. Contributes to decisions about tools, methods and approaches.
Level 6 Sets standards, strategies and procedures across the development lifecycle in the areas of systems integration and testing and ensures that practitioners adhere to them. Manages resources to ensure that the systems integration function operates effectively.
