Appian ACD300 Online Questions & Answers

• Question 31:

  You are the lead developer for an Appian project, in a backlog refinement meeting You are presented with the following user story.

  As a restaurant customer. I need to be able to place my food order online to avoid waiting in line for take out.'

  Which two functional acceptance criteria would you consider 'good'?

  A. The user will click Save, and the order information will be saved in the ORDER table and have audit history
  B. The user will receive an email notification when their order is completed.
  C. The system mutt handle up to 500 unique orders per day
  D. The user cannot submit the form without filling out all required fields.
  B. The user will receive an email notification when their order is completed.
  D. The user cannot submit the form without filling out all required fields.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  Functional acceptance criteria are the conditions that a user story must satisfy to be accepted by the user or stakeholder. They should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and testable. In this case, two functional acceptance criteria that would be considered `good' are: The user will receive an email notification when their order is completed. This is a specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and testable criterion that describes a feature that the user needs to be informed of their order status. The user cannot submit the form without filling out all required fields. This is a specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and testable criterion that describes afeature that the user needs to provide valid and complete information for their order. The other options are not as good. Option A, the user will click Save, and the order information will be saved in the ORDER table and have audit history, is not a functional acceptance criterion, but rather a technical implementation detail that is not relevant or visible to the user. Option C, the system must handle up to 500 unique orders per day, is not a functional acceptance criterion, but rather a non-functional requirement that describes a performance or quality attribute of the system.

• Question 32:

  You are running an inspection as a part of the first deployment process from TEST to PROD. You receive a notice that one of your objects will not deploy because it is dependent on an object from an application owned by a separate team.

  What should be your next step?

  A. Create your own object with the same code base, replace (he dependent object in the application. and deploy to PROO.
  B. Halt the production deployment and contact the other team tor guidance on promoting the object to PROD
  C. Check the dependencies of the necessary object Deploy w PROO if there are few dependencies and it is low risk
  D. Push a functionally viable package to PROD without the dependencies, and plan the rest o! the deployment accordingly with the other team's constraints
  B. Halt the production deployment and contact the other team tor guidance on promoting the object to PROD

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  Deploying an object that is dependent on another object from a different application can cause errors and inconsistencies in the production environment. The best practice is to halt the production deployment and contact the other team for guidance on how to promote the object to PROD. The other team may have a different deployment schedule, or they may have some dependencies or customizations that need to be considered. By communicating with the other team, you can ensure that the object is deployed in a safe and coordinated manner, and avoid any potential conflicts or issues.

• Question 33:

  You are required to create an integration from your Appian cloud instance to an application hosted within a customers self-managed environment.

  The customers IT team has provided you with a REST API endpoint to test with; httpsV/lnternal networkVapi/api /ping

  Which recommendation should you make to progress this integration?

  A. Expose the API as a SOAP-basedweb service.
  B. Deploy the API / service into Appian Cloud
  C. Add Appian Cloud's IP address ranges lo the customer network's allowed IP listing
  D. Set up a VPN tunnel
  D. Set up a VPN tunnel

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  To create an integration from your Appian cloud instance to an application hosted within a customer's self-managed environment, you need to ensure that there is a secure and reliable connection between the two systems. One way to do this is to set up a VPN tunnel, which is a virtual private network that encrypts and transports data over the internet. A VPN tunnel allows you to access the customer's internal network and API endpoint from your Appian cloud instance, without exposing them to the public internet. This way, you can ensure the security and privacy of the data that is exchanged between the two systems. Verified References: [Appian Cloud VPN], [Appian Integration Guide]

• Question 34:

  You have 5 applications on your Appian platform in production. Users are now beginning to use multiple applications across the platform, and the client wants to ensure a consistent user experience across all applications You notice that some applications use rich text some use section layouts, and others use box layouts. The result is that each application has a different color and size for the header.

  What would you recommend to ensure consistency across the platform?

  A. Create constants for text size and color, and update each section lo reference these values.
  B. In the common application, create a rule that can be used across the platform for section headers, and update each application to reference this new rule
  C. In the common application, create one rule for each application, and update each application to reference its respective rule
  D. In each individual application, create a rule that can be used lot tot section headers, and update each application lo reference its respective rule
  B. In the common application, create a rule that can be used across the platform for section headers, and update each application to reference this new rule

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  The best way to ensure consistency across the platform is to create a rule that can be used across the platform for section headers. This rule can be created in the common application, and then each application can be updated to reference

  this rule. This will ensure that all of the applications use the same color and size for the header, which will provide a consistent user experience.

  The other options are not as effective. Option A, creating constants for text size and color, and updating each section to reference these values, would require updating each section in each application. This would be a lot of work, and it would

  be easy to make mistakes. Option C, creating one rule for each application, would also require updating each application. This would be less work than option A, but it would still be a lot of work, and it would be easy to make mistakes. Option

  D, creating a rule in each individual application, would not ensure consistency across the platform. Each application would have its own rule, and the rules could be different. This would not provide a consistent user experience.

  Best Practices:

  When designing a platform, it is important to consider the user experience. A consistent user experience will make it easier for users to learn and use the platform.

  When creating rules, it is important to use them consistently across the platform. This will ensure that the platform has a consistent look and feel. When updating the platform, it is important to test the changes to ensure that they do not break

  the user experience.

• Question 35:

  Review the following resultof an explain statement: Which two conclusions can you draw from this?

  

  A. The request is good enough to support a high volume of data. but could demonstrate some limitations if the developer queries information related to the product
  B. The worst join isthe one between the table order_detail and order.
  C. The join between the tables order_detail, order and customerneeds to be tine-tuned due to indices.
  D. The join between the tables 0rder_detail and productneeds to be fine-tuned due to Indices
  E. The worst join is the one between the table order_detail and customer
  D. The join between the tables 0rder_detail and productneeds to be fine-tuned due to Indices
  E. The worst join is the one between the table order_detail and customer

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  D. The join between the tables order_detail and product needs to be fine-tuned due to Indices. This is correct because the result of the explain statement showsthat the join between these two tables has a high cost of 0.99, which indicates that it is inefficient and needs to be fine-tuned. One possible reason for the high cost is that there are no indices on the columns that are used for joining these two tables, which leads to a full table scan. Therefore, creating indices on these columns could improve the performance of this join. E. The worst join is the one between the table order_detail and customer. This is correct because the result of the explain statement shows that the join between these two tables has a very high cost of 1.00, which indicates that it is the worst join in terms of efficiency and needs to be fine-tuned. One possible reason for the high cost is that there are no indices on the columns that are used for joining these two tables, which leads to a full table scan. Therefore, creating indices on these columns could improve the performance of this join. The other options are incorrect for the following reasons:

  A. The request is good enough to support a high volume of data, but could demonstrate some limitations if the developer queries information related to the product. This is incorrect because the request is not good enough to support a high volume of data, as it has two joins with very high costs that need to be fine- tuned. Moreover, querying information related to the product would not necessarily cause any limitations, as long as the join between order_detail and product is optimized.

  B. The worst join is the one between the table order_detail and order. This is incorrect because the result of the explain statement shows that the join between these two tables has a low cost of 0.01, which indicates that it is efficient and does not need to be fine-tuned.

  C. The join between the tables order_detail, order and customer needs to be fine- tuned due to indices. This is incorrect because there is no such join between three tables in the result of the explain statement. There are only two joins: one between order_detail and order, and another between order_detail and customer. Each of these joins needs to be fine-tuned separately due to indices.
