Guidewire Associate Exam Study Guide Graded A

What are the four main areas of configuration in a Guidewire application? - 1. User Interface 2. Data Model 3. Application Logic 4. Integration What are some of the technologies used in InsuranceSuite applications? - Page Configuration Format (PCF) files Gosu (programming language) What are some reasons for a non-developer to understand the technology stack? - To determine what data is stored and if new requirements need additional data elements. To know how and where data is used. To communicate what data may be needed beyond what is in the base configuration. To determine valid values or circumstances for the new data. What are some examples of what can be configured in the User Interface? - The order of fields, change labels, regroup fields (simple change). Fields on a screen (moderate change). Screens (complex change). Screen-based logic (complex change). What are some examples of what can be configured in the Data Model? - Information that the base application does not store (add passport number). Values for a Typelist (add valid values for AddressType or PhoneType). Data to support regulatory requirements. Why is it important for non-developers to understand the basics of the UI architecture and components? - So that they can request changes to the UI that are consistent with the base product architecture and communicate effectively with developers, What are five common areas of the UI architecture? - 1. The Screen Area 2. The Sidebar 3. The Tab Bar 4. The Info Bar 5. The Workspace Name three components of a PCF - Card ListView Button Text Input Contact Picker Radio button Checkbox What keyboard shortcut provides just the location information for a screen viewed in an InsuranceSuite product? - ALT+SHIFT+I displays the Location Info window What tool does a developer use to configure InsuranceSuite products? - Guidewire Studio What are the two main components of the data model? - 1.

Why is it important for non-developers to have a basic understanding of integration? - Non-developers assist with documenting requirements including data mapping between the two systems and UI changes and communicate the requirements to developers. Name some common examples of InsuranceSuite integrations. - User authentication
