Appian ACD201 Exam - Topic 3 Question 8 Discussion

Actual exam question for Appian's ACD201 exam

Question #: 8
Topic #: 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?

AUtilize the Postman API Platform to test the integrations with the external system and Appian's web APIs through a defined set of test cases.

BUtilize 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.

CUtilize FitNesse for Appian to perform automated functional testing on the workflows that include integrated systems through a defined set of test cases.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

FitNesse for Appian is designed for automated functional testing of Appian workflows, including those that call external integrations. By building repeatable FitNesse test scripts that drive the end-to-end process, you can automatically verify that data is correctly sent to - and returned from - the external system each time, greatly reducing the manual effort of system-integration testing.

I practiced a similar question where we had to choose between manual and automated testing tools. I think using Appian-Locust could help with performance, but I'm not sure if it's the best fit for this scenario.
