A process definition document has been produced for a process that interfaces with two applications: FirstApp and Customer Information (CI). The process requirement is to perform data extraction from FirstApp before performing a number of steps in the CI application.
It is estimated that to perform the daily case volume within SLA's will require 10 robots. Average case time is approximately 10 minutes, with the FirstApp steps requiring only 1 minute to perform.
The client has a limited number of licenses for the FirstApp application and is reluctant to use 10 of these licenses to automate the process.
Which of the below is a valid design option for the project?

• A. Automate the end to end process using single Blue Prism process which will be run on 10 robots.
• B. Automate the end to end process using two Blue Prism processes. Process 1 will perform the FirstApp tasks, Process 2 will perform the CI tasks. Data will be passed from Process 1 to Process 2 via a spreadsheet. Process 1 will run on a single robot, with Process 2 running on 9 robots.
• C. Automate the end to end process using two Blue Prism processes. Process 1 will perform the FirstApp tasks, Process 2 will perform the CI tasks. Data will be passed from Process 1 to Process 2 via a Blue Prism Work Queue. Process 1 will run on a single robot, with Process 2 running on 9 robots.
• D. Automate the end to end process using single Blue Prism process which will only be run on a single robot.

Consider the following steps for a theoretical manual process.
* Check in input folder any new files.
* If there are no files check again later as files can arrive anytime, and there is no limit to the number of files that may come.
* Open the next available file.
* Take the first case.
* Start System X and find the case details.
* If the case can't be found, move to the next one.
* After finding the case in System X, fetch additional case details from System Y.
* Again if the case can't be found, move to the next one.
* Analyse all the data to see if System Z should be updated.
* If the data does not meet the requirements, add notes indicating this to System X and Y and move to the next case.
* If the data does meet the requirements, update the case in System Z.
* Add notes to System X and Y and move to the next case.
* At the end of the file, go back and look for another.
* Stop checking for new files at 16:00 and finish any remaining cases.
* When all work is complete create a report of the day's exception cases.
* Close down Systems X, Y and Z.
If the volume of incoming cases is such that 1 Resource PC can easily handle the workload, which of the following steps for an automated solution should be part of the 'Preparation' phase of an automated process?

• A. Check input folder, wait for files, read file and load queue, log into applications.
• B. Log into applications.
• C. Check input folder, wait for files.
• D. Check input folder, wait for files, read file and load queue.

You are the Lead Developer tasked with delivering four processes for the same client. You have enough developers in the team to develop all the processes in parallel. All the processes have one application in common, another application is used by two processes and one process uses an application that none of the others do.
Which of the following statements is true?

• A. Other than the standard utilities, there should be 3 objects.
• B. Other than the standard utilities, there should be 4 objects.
• C. Other than the standard utilities, there should be 7 objects.
• D. It's not possible to determine how many objects there should be.
