AWS Certified Alexa Skill Builder – Specialty — Question 38

When testing an Amazon Alexa skill using the Test page in the developer console, the JSON output is null.
What is the MOST likely cause?

Answer options

• A. The AWS Lambda function is encountering an error and is not returning a result.
• B. The endpoint ARN has not been configured
• C. The ASK has not been granted access to trigger the AWS Lambda function
• D. Skill ID verification has been disabled

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because if the endpoint ARN is not configured, the skill will not know where to send requests, resulting in a null output. Option A refers to an error in the AWS Lambda function, which would typically return an error message rather than null. Option C deals with permissions, which would also not lead to a null response but rather a permission error. Option D pertains to skill ID verification, which does not directly affect the output being null.
