BPMN SYNTAX TEST QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
Exclusive Gateway - (XOR) Split - ANSWER An X captures decision points,
between two or more alternative activities. it represents a decision to take
exactly one path in the flow. More than one path can not be taken.
Relation between two or more alternative activities, like in the case of the
approval or rejection of a claim, we use an exclusive X
Exclusive Gateway - (XOR) Join - ANSWER A X proceeds when one
incoming branch has completed
We use an X to merge two or more alternative branches that may have
previously been forked with an X.
Parallel Gateway - (AND) Split - ANSWER X is used to model the parallel
execution of two or more branches.
When two or more activities do not have any order dependencies on each other
(i.e. one activity does not need to follow the other, nor excludes the other). They
can be executed concurrently or in parallel.
Parallel Gateway - (AND) Join - ANSWER An X is used to synchronise the
execution of two or more parallel branches.
All concurrent executions. arriving at the parallel join gateway, wait at the
gateway; until execution has completed for each of the incoming sequence
flows.
Inclusive Gateway - (OR) Split - ANSWER Inclusive gateways are used to
model situations where a decision may lead to one or more options being taken
at the same time.
