APPIAN DEVELOPER COMPREHENSIVE TEST QUESTIONS AND
SOLUTIONS
✔✔What does the process discovery method generate? (Done by uploading an event
log)
A. The target model that shows how a process should run
B. The discovered model that shows how a process runs in real life
C. A chart of common deviations
D. A reporting dashboard - ✔✔B. The discovered model that shows how a process runs
in real life
✔✔What process mining method compares the discovered and target models and
identifies the deviations between them?
A. Process enhancement
B. Conformance checking
C. Process discovery
D. Regulatory compliance - ✔✔B. Conformance checking
✔✔What are the for purposes for Process Mining? - ✔✔- Discover patterns in real life
- Check for conformance and deviations
- Identify root causes for deviations
- Create and monitor key metrics
✔✔What is Conformance Checking? - ✔✔This is when Process Mining identifies
deviations and uncovers root causes in a Discovered Model. These deviations include:
Skipped events
Additional events
Event order switching
Alternative paths
✔✔Process Mining puts you in charge of the insight gained from process mining.
Process discovery reveals what your processes are like in real life.
Conformance checking identifies deviations and their root causes. Once you
understand the issues you must do what two things? - ✔✔1. Decide what must be
automated
2. Implement a monitoring dashboard
✔✔Define Persona - ✔✔A representation of a group of people with similar needs who
will work in the application.
✔✔Define Groups - ✔✔A security that enables users to view and interact with different
application components. Such as records, reports and processes.
✔✔What is used to primarily manage data in Appian? - ✔✔Record Types
, ✔✔T or F: CDTs help you define the data model used in your app. - ✔✔False. Record
Types help define the data model.
Users can view and take action on data using records.
✔✔What three ways can record type data be sourced from? - ✔✔- Relational
Databases
- Appian Processes
- Web services
✔✔What Appian component drives actions performed in the application? - ✔✔Process
Models
✔✔T or F: It's a good idea to create a planning document for the application. - ✔✔True.
Do this by stating the application's purpose and goals. Add performance measures to
define application success. After those are defined, you need to identify Groups and
Personas; Data Design and Records; Process Models and Reports.
✔✔In Appian, how is a record defined?
A. A record represents a row in a database
B. A record tracks user activity in an application
C. Record types help you define the data model used in your app. Users can view and
take action on data using records.
D. A record documents a transaction that occurred using an application. - ✔✔C. Record
types help you define the data model used in your app. Users can view and take action
on data using records.
✔✔What are the key components of application planning?
A. Databases, web APIs, users, forms, process models, reports
B. Personas, project budget, custom data types, records, reports
C. Personas, records-based data design, custom data types, process models, reports
D. Custom data types, records, forms, scheduling process models - ✔✔C. Personas,
records-based data design, custom data types, process models, reports.
Remember that this is planning. Planning drives development and should be half the
work.
✔✔What are the most basic security groups? - ✔✔All Users
Administrators
Within these groups, other groups can be made to further specify responsibilities.
✔✔T or F: A security group can contain sub-groups but not individual user members. -
✔✔False
✔✔Define Permissions Matrix - ✔✔A graph that defines who may access application
functions and records. You can define which groups have or are denied access to
application functions and records.
