d - All end nodes need to have a termination event - Answer -a - Use swim lanes
b - Add labels on outbound paths for XOR gateways
You just made a series of changes intended to reduce the memory footprint of a
process model.
After initiating a sampling of process instances, what two items should you compare
before and after the change to validate that memory has been reduced?
a - The Data Management tab in the process model
b - The sizing.bat (.sh) script
, c - The system.csv log file
d - The Process Model Metrics in the Monitoring tab - Answer -b - The sizing.bat (.sh)
script

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?

deployed. No actions are required
