2 Which statement about pools and lanes is true?

	Pools hold flow objects and a pool may contain only one lane per participant.

1,2,4

6 What does a slash in a sequence signify?

	The path is a default path
	It is an accident of the tool vendor
	The path is a documentation notation only

Answer >>

The path is a default path

7 Which statement about Sequence Flow in BPMN is true?

	Sequences are represented by a solid line which represents a transition between one BPMN shape and the next
	Sequence Flow documents the flow of messages between two Flow Objects in different lanes
	Sequences are signified by a dashed line with a rectangle at the starting end and an arrowhead on the other end
	Sequences can be used to communicate between pools

Answer >>

Sequences are represented by a solid line which represents a transition between one BPMN shape and the next

8 What is the symbol for a group of BPMN?

	The group shape is drawn as a rounded corner rectangle with a dot-dash-dot-dash pattern
	The group shape is drawn as a double line around the activity
	The group shape is drawn as a dashed line in the pool
	The group shape is drawn as an extra heavy line surrounding several activities on a lane

Answer >>

The group shape is drawn as a rounded corner rectangle with a dot-dash-dot-dash pattern

9 In BPMN, which is true about an association?

	Data descriptions between two Messages are connected to the same pool with an event object as input to or an output from an activity.
	Information structures exist between two Flow Objects
	Artifacts are associated with Activities and Control Objects to show that an event object is either an input to or an output from an activity
	A directional Association is often used with Data Objects to show that a Data Object is either an input to or an output from an activity

Answer >>

A directional Association is often used with Data Objects to show that a Data Object is either an input to or an output from an activity

10 What is wrong with the BPMN diagram?

	The sequence flow starts with an end event
	The sequence flow starts with an intermediate event
	The activity has no attached intermediate event
	An activity starts without a sequence flow

Answer >>

An activity starts without a sequence flow

11 With respect to WSBPEL, a business process may:

	Control the model driven architecture
	Be generated from UML activity models.
	Map to one or more documents
	Replace outdated UML activity models

Answer >>

Map to one or more documents

12 What is the meaning of a message event with a white envelope?

	The marker indicates a process to process communication
	The marker indicates a message arrives from a participant and triggers the end of the process
	The marker indicates a message is sent to a participant
	The marker indicates a message arrives from a participant

Answer >>

The marker indicates a message arrives from a participant

13 What BPMN concept cancels an undesirable activity or activity outcome?

	Cancel the Sub-Process
	Interrupt the Sub-Processes with an exception
	Compensations.
	Stop Sub-Process with an error

Answer >>

Compensations.

14 The gateway controls which aspect of a business process?

	Divergence and convergence
	The message
	The sequence and message flow
	The data

Answer >>

Divergence and convergence

15 In the diagram, will the process continue after the merge?

	Only after one of the parallel activities is done
	Only when all of the other activities are completed.
	Only if all parallel activities simultaneously end

Answer >>

Only when all of the other activities are completed.

16 Question: According to BPMN, the start event indicates what?

	A gateway for merging the start
	An event of where a particular Process will start
	The initiation of all sub-processes
	A pool of where a particular Process will start.

Answer >>

An event of where a particular Process will start

17 Which is the best practice for gateways in divergence and convergence?

	The gateways are interchanged for exclusive conditions and others do not converge
	The same gateway should be started and ended with the same gateway
	The condition expression determines the type of gateway you need
	It is not deterministic to decide which convergence occurs

Answer >>

The same gateway should be started and ended with the same gateway

18 What are other features of the Gateway?

	It is the entity point of an activity within a process and allows or disallows sequence to message other pools.
	It is a model element to fork the sequence flow within a process and allow or disallow sequence to diverge
	It is a model element to control the sequence flow within a process and allows or disallows passage
	It is a link between two processes and diverges as the entity point of an activity within a process

Answer >>

It is a model element to control the sequence flow within a process and allows or disallows passage

19 An association connects which object to another object?

	The pools, lanes or groups
	The text annotation and the flows of the process
	The text annotation or a data object to an object
	The text annotation, groups or data objects

Answer >>

The text annotation or a data object to an object

20 Which kind of gateway is shown in this diagram?

	A Parallel Gateway
	An Exclusive Gateway.
	An Event-based Gateway.

21 What is vision for BPMN?

	Business information models are not important anymore
	It visually models business activities which become machine-executable code in WSBPEL
	Business rules are separated from the flow elements through gateways

Answer >>

It visually models business activities which become machine-executable code in WSBPEL

	They connect flow objects with message flows.
	They denote the role of events and activities as part of the same process
	They separate activities from events in the same business process diagram

Answer >>

They extend the length of the pool and there text can be oriented in any direction.

24 What can be said about the association line?

	It looks just like a message line, yet it occurs between a BPMN shape and a data object or annotation.
	It is a dashed line with a open circle start and a mandatory arrow at either end.
	It is a dashed line with an optional arrow at one end
	It is a dashed line with a mandatory arrow at ether end
