CPSA Rules Configuration & Business Logic Implementation 3

Question 1

In Pega, a 'When' rule returns which type of value?

Accepted Answer

A true/false Boolean result

Answer

When rules evaluate a set of conditions and return a Boolean (true or false), making them suitable for branching logic and visibility conditions.

Question 2

Which Pega mechanism allows rule changes made in a child class to override the parent class rule without modifying the parent?

Accepted Answer

Rule override (specialization)

Answer

Rule overriding (specialization) lets a developer create a rule with the same name in a more specific class, which takes precedence over the parent class version.

Question 3

A Decision Tree in Pega differs from a Decision Table primarily because:

Accepted Answer

Decision Trees evaluate conditions sequentially in branches; Decision Tables evaluate all rows simultaneously

Answer

Decision Trees use a branching structure where each node leads to child branches based on a condition, while Decision Tables evaluate rows with multiple condition columns.

Question 4

Which ruleset configuration option prevents developers from viewing or copying rule source code while still allowing rule execution?

Accepted Answer

Ruleset encryption (obfuscation)

Answer

Ruleset encryption/obfuscation protects intellectual property by making rule source unreadable while allowing the rules to execute at runtime.

Question 5

In Pega, what is the primary purpose of a 'Map Value' rule?

Accepted Answer

Translates one set of values to another (e.g., code to description)

Answer

Map Value rules translate input values to output values using a lookup table, such as converting a status code to a human-readable description.
