The business database for a large, complex Appian application is to undergo a migration between database technologies, as well as interface and process changes. The project manager asks you to recommend a test strategy. Given the changes, which two items should be included in the test strategy?

• A. Tests that ensure users can still successfully log into the platform
• B. A regression test of all existing system functionality
• C. Penetration testing of the Appian platform
• D. Tests for each of the interfaces and process changes
• E. Internationalization testing of the Appian platform

While working on an application, you have identified oddities and breaks in some of your components. How can you guarantee that this mistake does not happen again in the future?

• A. Ensure that the application administrator group only has designers from that application's team.
• B. Create a best practice that enforces a peer review of the deletion of any components within the application.
• C. Provide Appian developers with the "Designer" permissions role within Appian. Ensure that they have only basic user rights and assign them the permissions to administer their application.
• D. Design and communicate a best practice that dictates designers only work within the confines of their own application.

You have 5 applications on your Appian platform in Production. Users are now beginning to use multiple applications across the platform, and the client wants to ensure a consistent user experience across all applications.
You notice that some applications use rich text, some use section layouts, and others use box layouts. The result is that each application has a different color and size for the header.
What would you recommend to ensure consistency across the platform?

• A. In the common application, create one rule for each application, and update each application to reference its respective rule.
• B. Create constants for text size and color, and update each section to reference these values.
• C. In each individual application, create a rule that can be used for section headers, and update each application to reference its respective rule.
• D. In the common application, create a rule that can be used across the platform for section headers, and update each application to reference this new rule.

You are the lead developer for an Appian project, in a backlog refinement meeting. You are presented with the following user story:
"As a restaurant customer, I need to be able to place my food order online to avoid waiting in line for takeout." Which two functional acceptance criteria would you consider 'good'?

• A. The system must handle up to 500 unique orders per day.
• B. The user will click Save, and the order information will be saved in the ORDER table and have audit history.
• C. The user cannot submit the form without filling out all required fields.
• D. The user will receive an email notification when their order is completed.

You have an active development team (Team A) building enhancements for an application (App X) and are currently using the TEST environment for User Acceptance Testing (UAT).
A separate operations team (Team B) discovers a critical error in the Production instance of App X that they must remediate. However, Team B does not have a hotfix stream for which to accomplish this. The available environments are DEV, TEST, and PROD.
Which risk mitigation effort should both teams employ to ensure Team A's capital project is only minorly interrupted, and Team B's critical fix can be completed and deployed quickly to end users?

• A. Team B must address changes in the TEST environment. These changes can then be tested and deployed directly to PROD. Once the deployment is complete, Team B can then communicate their changes to Team A to ensure they are incorporated as part of the next release.
• B. Team A must analyze their current codebase in DEV to merge the hotfix changes into their latest enhancements. Team B is then required to wait for the hotfix to follow regular deployment protocols from DEV to the PROD environment.
• C. Team B must communicate to Team A which component will be addressed in the hotfix to avoid overlap of changes. If overlap exists, the component must be versioned to its PROD state before being remediated and deployed, and then versioned back to its latest development state. If overlap does not exist, the component may be remediated and deployed without any version changes.
• D. Team B must address the changes directly in PROD. As there is no hotfix stream, and DEV and TEST are being utilized for active development, it is best to avoid a conflict of components. Once Team A has completed their enhancements work, Team B can update DEV and TEST accordingly.
