Appian Senior Developer Practice Exam 2025
A developer needs to create an application that allows a bank to view and edit each of
their customer's details in a unified interface that pulls from multiple data sources.
To best align with Appian design best practices, what should the developer consider
implementing?
a - A record and a set of related actions which allow a user to view and update a
customer's information
b - A set of long-lived processes that hold customer data, accessible through Portal
pages
c - A report object with an interface that allows a user to pull up the customer's summary
information
d - A process, launched daily, which creates a task so a user can view each customer -
ANSWER-a - A record and a set of related actions which allow a user to view and
update a customer's information
A non-admin user with edit permissions has modified the Account CDT. How can this
user publish the CDT changes to the database?
a - Choose the Create tables automatically option in the Data store object and ignore all
warnings
b - Enable the security inheritance option then import the Account CDT object
c - Select the Create tables manually in the Data Store Object, then download the script
and share it with the System Administrator
d - Create an account record type object then call the wrote to datastore smart service
from a process - ANSWER-c - Select the Create tables manually in the Data Store
Object, then download the script and share it with the System Administrator
A system administrator is configuring an Appian environment for maintenance.
Which two statements are true about the system during the maintenance window?
a - No users will be able to access the environment
b - Maintenance windows can be configured to start and end at specified times
c - A top site banner will show to all users
d - REST endpoints will return a 401 error - ANSWER-c - A top site banner will show to
all users
d - REST endpoints will return a 401 error
After every deployment to the target environment, you want to run expression rule test
cases automatically for the application using the most efficient way possible.
Which action should you take, if any?
, a - Ask the team to execute the test cases for all expressions in the application
b - This is the default behavior and happens automatically when an expression is
deployed. No actions are required
c - Configure a post-deployment process to execute Start Rule Tests (Applications)
smart service
d - Configure a post-deployment process to execute Start Rule Tests (All) smart service
- ANSWER-c - Configure a post-deployment process to execute Start Rule Tests
(Applications) smart service
After looking at the health check, you identify a process model that is responsible for a
large portion of the platform's memory
What 2 steps would reduce the memory footprint?
a - Change the data management settings to delete the process after completion
instead of archiving the process
b - When looping through process nodes, configure them to delete previously
completed/cancelled instances
c - Convert your asynchronous sub-process nodes into start process nodes
d - Use activity class parameters (as opposed to process variables) when possible to
limit the process history size - ANSWER-b - When looping through process nodes,
configure them to delete previously completed/cancelled instances
d - Use activity class parameters (as opposed to process variables) when possible to
limit the process history size
An Application Vision Board helps you discover the purpose of your application. What

d - target group, needs, application, business goals - ANSWER-d - target group, needs,
application, business goals
One of the process models in your application takes on average 6 days to complete with
an archival period of 4 days established. You are considering decreasing the archival
period to 2 days. After this change is made, what percent reduction would you expect to
see in the number of process instances stores in memory for this process model?
a - 50%
b - 33%
c - 25%
d - 20% - ANSWER-d - 20%
What action would you take after discovering that some engines have higher than
normal process count?
