Blue Prism Professional Developer APD01 Practice Test Questions

1. A Process Definition Document, for a new process to open ISA accounts, specifies that the value “2008 Cash ISA” is to be entered into the Product Selection field of the following screen:

The Product Selection field is a drop down menu with the following options available:

According to Best Practice, which of the following design options are correct for populating the Product Selection field with the value 2008 Cash ISA:

The Product Selection value should be hard coded as 2008 Cash ISA in the stage that will populate the field.

A text data item, with an initial value of 2008 Cash ISA should be configured. This data item should be used as the input value to the stage that will populate the Product Selection field.

An input parameter should be configured in the start stage allowing the calling process to determine what value to be populated into the Product Selection number field

All of the above

2. A Process is fed cases to work from a spreadsheet held in a shared drive. The location of the shared drive is different between Development and Production environments.

How should this be managed?

During the build and test phase, hold the ‘Development’ path to the spreadsheet in a data item within a Process. When the Process is imported into Production it will be opened and the data item will be amended to hold the ‘Production’ path.

During the build and test phase, hold the ‘Development’ path to the spreadsheet in a data item within a Process. Expose this data item as a Session Variable. When the Process is run in Production, this Session Variable value can be set in Control Room

Hold the Path to the spreadsheet as an Environment Variable

Pass the Path as a Startup Parameter when the process starts

3. While automating a process involving a browser based application a popup window from the browser application appears that you need to work with. When you try to spy the popup window and its elements, Blue Prism throws the following error: “There was an error during the spying operation.” Which of the following would be the most appropriate workaround?

Set the HKEY CURRENT USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\TabProcGrowth Registry key to 2

Change the scope of the process so that the popup window does not need to be automated

Create a new separate object that attaches to the running instance of the popup and attempt to spy elements with this object instead.

Use Surface Automation techniques to interface with the popup

4. Which of the following is a recommend tip for dealing with problems when launching and attaching to Browser Applications?

Use the Start Process action of the Utility – Environment Object to launch the application followed by an attach stage to attach to the application

Hold the target URL in a data item as opposed to it being configured in the Application Modeller Wizard

Set the HKEY CURRENT USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\TabProcGrowth Registry key to 2

Use Surface Automation to automate the application

5. An action within an object has been written that automates a browser based application. All elements can be spied successfully and the object runs without defect in Object Studio.

However, when ran in Control Room, exceptions are thrown that indicate elements cannot be found. This is because elements on the web page do not load all at once, they load slowly one after another instead.

Which of the following would be the most appropriate to improve the resilience of the automation?

Use a Wait Stage with the Check Exists condition at the start of the action before continuing.

Use a Wait Stage with the Parent Document Loaded condition at the start of the action.

Use a Wait Stage with the Document Loaded condition at the start of the action.

Do not spy elements with HTML mode

6. While trying to read a table in a browser based application into a collection an error message appears and the table cannot be read directly into the collection. This happens when using either AA or HTML mode.

Which of the following would be the most appropriate workaround?

Spy one cell in the table using HTML mode and make the Path attribute dynamic. Use this dynamic element to read the required cells one be one into a collection.

Use Surface Automation techniques such as OCR to read the table

Set the HKEY CURRENT USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\TabProcGrowth Registry key to 2

Use the Read HTML action in conjunction with regular expressions to read the table.

7. Which of the following statements, about interfacing with browser applications are true? (Choose three.)

To read or write to an HTML element, the element does not have to actually be visible on the screen. As long as the element exists on the currently loaded page reading or writing to it will work.

Having the Parent URL attribute checked will result in a faster, more reliable identification of an element

Elements within a Web Application can be spied using Active Accessibility mode

Win32 mode can be used to identify the Internet Explorer Window

HTML spy mode can be used to identify HTML elements in any browser application

8. Which of the following comments about Wait Stages are correct?

After a Navigate stage which moves an application from one screen to another, it is good practice to configure a Wait Stage to detect the screen change has successfully completed.
It is good practice to hold the timeout values to be used in Wait Stages as a set of global data items on a Business Object’ initialise page
It is good practice to ensure that a Wait Stage times out to another stage – normally an Exception Stage
There is no need to configure a Wait Stage, at the start of a Business Object action, to validate the application is on the correct, screen if the previous action called by the Process has validated a successful screen change.

1, 2 and 3

All of the above

9. Which of the following statements about Tagging of Work Queues are correct? (Choose three.)

Tags can only be added to a Work Queue case at the time the case is added to the queue

Tags can be used to categorise the ‘Completion Type’ of a case.

Tags can be used to filter the items retrieved from a work queue

Tags can be used to categorise the source of a work queue item

10. Which of the following accurately describes best practice when work is sourced from an application’s workflow system?

There is no need to use a Blue Prism queue as workflow is managed within the application

Even though there is a workflow system managing and allocating work, a Blue Prism Work Queue should still be used

Blue Prism cannot source work from an application’s workflow system

When sourcing work from an applications workflow system, case data should be stored in an excel document
