Question No. 1

What is a key performance indicator (KPI) that measures the success of a typical C4E that is immediately apparent in responses from the Anypoint Platform APIs?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: D

Correct Answer: The number of API specifications in RAML or OAS format published to Anypoint Exchange

*****************************************

>> The success of C4E always depends on their contribution to the number of reusable assets that they have helped to build and publish to Anypoint Exchange.

>> It is NOT due to any factors w.r.t # of outages, Manual vs CI/CD deployments or Publicly accessible HTTP endpoints

>> Anypoint Platform APIs helps us to quickly run and get the number of published RAML/OAS assets to Anypoint Exchange. This clearly depicts how successful a C4E team is based on number of returned assets in the response.


Question No. 2

An API implementation is being designed that must invoke an Order API, which is known to repeatedly experience downtime.

For this reason, a fallback API is to be called when the Order API is unavailable.

What approach to designing the invocation of the fallback API provides the best resilience?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: A

Correct Answer: Search Anypoint exchange for a suitable existing fallback API, and then implement invocations to this fallback API in addition to the order API

*****************************************

>> It is not ideal and good approach, until unless there is a pre-approved agreement with the API clients that they will receive a HTTP 3xx temporary redirect status code and they have to implement fallback logic their side to call another API.

>> Creating separate entry of same Order API in API manager would just create an another instance of it on top of same API implementation. So, it does NO GOOD by using clone od same API as a fallback API. Fallback API should be ideally a different API implementation that is not same as primary one.

>> There is NO option currently provided by Anypoint HTTP Connector that allows us to invoke a fallback API when we receive certain HTTP status codes in response.

The only statement TRUE in the given options is to Search Anypoint exchange for a suitable existing fallback API, and then implement invocations to this fallback API in addition to the order API.


Question No. 3

What is typically NOT a function of the APIs created within the framework called API-led connectivity?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: A

Correct Answer: They provide an additional layer of resilience on top of the underlying backend system, thereby insulating clients from extended failure of these systems.

*****************************************

In API-led connectivity,

>> Experience APIs - allow for innovation at the user interface level by consuming the underlying assets without being aware of how data is being extracted from backend systems.

>> Process APIs - compose data from various sources and combine them with orchestration logic to create higher level value

>> System APIs - reduce the dependency on the underlying backend systems by helping unlock data from backend systems in a reusable and consumable way.

However, they NEVER promise that they provide an additional layer of resilience on top of the underlying backend system, thereby insulating clients from extended failure of these systems.

Question No. 4

Select the correct Owner-Layer combinations from below options

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: C

Correct Answer:

1. App Developers owns and focuses on Experience Layer APIs

2. LOB IT owns and focuses on Process Layer APIs

3. Central IT owns and focuses on System Layer APIs

Question No. 5

A set of tests must be performed prior to deploying API implementations to a staging environment. Due to data security and access restrictions, untested APIs cannot be granted access to the backend systems, so instead mocked data must be used for these tests. The amount of available mocked data and its contents is sufficient to entirely test the API implementations with no active connections to the backend systems. What type of tests should be used to incorporate this mocked data?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: D

Correct Answer: Unit tests (Whitebox)

*****************************************


As per general IT testing practice and MuleSoft recommended practice, Integration and Performance tests should be done on full end to end setup for right evaluation. Which means all end systems should be connected while doing the tests. So, these options are OUT and we are left with Unit Tests and Functional Tests.

As per attached reference documentation from MuleSoft:

Unit Tests - are limited to the code that can be realistically exercised without the need to run it inside Mule itself. So good candidates are Small pieces of modular code, Sub Flows, Custom transformers, Custom components, Custom expression evaluators etc.

Functional Tests - are those that most extensively exercise your application configuration. In these tests, you have the freedom and tools for simulating happy and unhappy paths. You also have the possibility to create stubs for target services and make them success or fail to easily simulate happy and unhappy paths respectively.

As the scenario in the question demands for API implementation to be tested before deployment to Staging and also clearly indicates that there is enough/ sufficient amount of mock data to test the various components of API implementations with no active connections to the backend systems, Unit Tests are the one to be used to incorporate this mocked data.
