Appian Certified Senior Developer Sample Questions:

1. You need to connect to an external system using OAuth 2.0: SAML Bearer Assertion Flow authentication type, which requests access to an API on of a signed in user.
This standard has several steps involved with the SAML Bearer Assertion Flow.
Which two steps should you perform to connect to the external system? (Choose two.)

A) Use an a!authorizationLink() on the relevant interface.
B) Generate a service account key in third-party systems.
C) Register the connection in the third-party system
D) Confiqure SAML for sinqle siqn-on (SSO).

2. One of your expressions uses too much memory and has poor performance.
Which two steps should you perform to improve its memory efficiency and performance?

A) Avoid writing test cases to expressions
B) Limit the number of rule inputs to the expression to 'less than 10".
C) Don't use deeply nested looping functions
D) Avoid dynamically generating components.

3. You're performing System Integration Testing on a client's application that integrates with an external system.
In this instance, you're testing the application's interactions with external integrations to ensure that data is being handled correctly between the two systems. However, this step has been done manually and is time-consuming.
What should you do to make this process more efficient?

A) Utilize FitNesse for Appian to perform automated functional testing on the workflows that include integrated systems through a defined set of test cases.
B) Utilize Appian-Locust to develop and execute performance tests on the systems integrations by scripting a scenario where multiple users are interacting with the external systems simultaneously.
C) Utilize the Postman API Platform to test the integrations with the external system and Appian's web APIs through a defined set of test cases.

4. You need to test a related action that updates record data.
Appropriate users must be able to access the form. You also need to ensure that the data is successfully updated.
Using Appian, which is the best testing method you should use?

A) Performance Testing
B) User Accepting Testing
C) Unit Testing

5. You're creating a synced record type which will store read-only data from an external web service. Data in the external system is updated nightly, and the latest information must be available to users in the morning. Currently there are approximately 150,000 entries in the external system, and this number is not expected to change significantly.
There is an existing integration object and associated expression rule, which when called returns the complete dataset from the external system.
What are two configurations that you must apply to ensure that the latest and complete record set is available? (Choose two.)

A) Within the record type, schedule a full sync to occur nightly after the data is refreshed in the external system.
B) Within the Source Filters settings on the record type, disable the row limit option so that all entries can be retrieved from the external system.
C) Modify the integration object and associated expression rule to return batches of 1000 based on a batch number passed in from the record type.
D) Set all record fields to evaluate in real-time so that the latest information is always retrieved from the web service.
