Blue Prism Associate Developer (ADEV01) Certification Sample Questions

01. An automation reads a daily input file from a shared folder. Once every row has been added to the work queue, the team wants the file moved to an archive folder so the next day's run cannot pick it up again. Which utility performs the move, and when should it run?
a) The Collection Manipulation utility, once every row has been added to the queue and marked as pending.
b) The File Management utility, immediately after the file has been read and before any rows are added.
c) The MS Excel VBO, using its own save action to write the workbook out to the archive folder instead.
d) The File Management utility, running once every row from the file has been added to the queue.

02. Which activity helps verify that recent process changes have not introduced unexpected defects into existing functionality?
a) Stage logging
b) Regression testing
c) Session scheduling
d) Queue prioritization

03. A developer is debugging a Process and wants to see how it behaves on a path that only runs when an account is flagged as overdue. No test record currently carries that flag. What is the most direct way to reach that path?
a) Set the Data Item holding the flag to the value that path requires, while the Process is paused.
b) Add a breakpoint on the overdue path so that execution stops there when it is reached.
c) Edit the Decision stage so that the overdue path is taken regardless of the flag.
d) Change the record in the target application so that it carries the overdue flag.

04. Two automations are scheduled to start at the same time on the same Digital Worker. Both drive application screens, and the team expects them to run side by side. What should the team expect instead?
a) Both fail, because a Digital Worker rejects a second session request while one is already running.
b) Both run together, because each session is given its own interactive desktop on the Digital Worker.
c) One of them is moved automatically to another Digital Worker that has capacity.
d) Their screen work is serialised, because a Digital Worker presents one interactive session for it.

05. A developer has found an existing published action that appears to do what a new Process needs, and is deciding whether to call it rather than build a new one. Which two checks should be made before reusing the action?
(Select two.)
a) Confirm that the action has never raised an exception in any previous Process that has used it.
b) Confirm the action's parameters carry everything the new Process needs to supply and receive.
c) Confirm the action's preconditions can be satisfied at the point the new Process would call it.
d) Confirm that the action belongs to a Business Object that has already been included in a release file.
e) Confirm that the new Process will be the only Process calling the action once it is deployed.

06. Blue Prism design standards ask a developer to complete an action's description together with its preconditions and endpoint before the action is published for reuse. What do the preconditions and endpoint of an action tell another developer?
a) The order in which the action's pages run and which of them are reusable.
b) The exceptions the action can raise, and the recovery stages inside it that are expected to handle them.
c) The state the application must be in before the action is called, and the state it will be left in.
d) The input and output parameters the action exposes, together with their data types and default values.

07. A supplier releases a new version of its web application every month. Field labels are often reworded and elements move around the page, although the underlying identifiers stay stable. Which two practices best protect a Business Object against these releases?
(Select two.)
a) Add every available attribute to the match criteria so that at least one of them will always match.
b) Spy each element again after every release and store the new values in the Application Modeller.
c) Match each element on its position within the page so that renamed labels are ignored.
d) Keep the number of elements in the model down to those the Object's actions actually use.
e) Keep each element's match criteria to the smallest set that still identifies it uniquely.

08. While spying a screen, a developer captures a drop-down list but stores it in the Application Modeller with an element type intended for a plain text field. The element resolves to the right control when highlighted. What is the consequence for the Object?
a) The element will fail to highlight until its type is corrected in the Application Modeller.
b) The interactions offered for that element no longer match the control.
c) Every Process calling the Object must declare the element type again in its own Application Modeller.
d) The Object will raise a validation error and refuse to save while the type is inconsistent.

09. A team wants one Process to run on three Digital Workers at the same time so that a large queue is cleared faster. Which two properties must the Process have for this to be safe?
(Select two.)
a) The Process is scheduled to start on all three Digital Workers at exactly the same moment.
b) Each Digital Worker uses a separate credential for the target application.
c) Each Digital Worker takes its own item from the queue and works only that item.
d) The Process holds no state between items that a second worker would also be changing.
e) The Process writes its session log to a different location on each Digital Worker.

10. Which Blue Prism feature records detailed execution information for each stage during a Process run?
a) Session Log
b) Credential Manager
c) Release Manager
d) Environment Variables
