CPSA Business Logic and Decisions 3

Question 1

A Pega architect wants to calculate a discount percentage based on both customer tier and purchase amount. Which rule type handles multiple input columns mapping to a single output?

Accepted Answer

Decision Table

Answer

A Decision Table supports multiple condition columns (like customer tier and purchase amount) that together determine a single output result.

Question 2

In Pega, what is a 'When' rule primarily used for?

Accepted Answer

Evaluating a Boolean condition to return true or false

Answer

A When rule evaluates a condition expression and returns true or false, making it suitable for conditional checks in flows and other rules.

Question 3

Which Pega approach should be used to enforce that a case cannot move to the 'Approved' stage unless the loan amount is less than $500,000?

Accepted Answer

When Rule referenced in a flow connector condition

Answer

A When rule evaluating the loan amount condition can be referenced on a flow connector to gate transition to the Approved stage.

Question 4

What is the key difference between a Decision Table and a Map Value rule in Pega?

Accepted Answer

Map Value maps a single input to a single output via a lookup table; Decision Tables support complex multi-column conditions

Answer

Map Value provides simple single-input-to-output lookups, while Decision Tables support complex multi-column condition logic.

Question 5

In a Pega Decision Tree, what does a 'leaf node' represent?

Accepted Answer

The final result or action returned when a branch is followed to its end

Answer

A leaf node in a Decision Tree is the terminal node that returns the final result when all branch conditions leading to it are satisfied.
