AWS Certified Alexa Skill Builder – Specialty — Question 8

While developing a skill, an Alexa Skill Builder finds that the voice response is too quick and needs to be slowed down.
How can the Builder MOST efficiently iterate and test how the response will sound?

Answer options

• A. Make changes in the skill code, deploy it, and test it on the device.
• B. Modify the SSML in the skill, save it, and check Amazon CloudWatch for errors.
• C. Edit the SSML in the skill and use the Alexa Simulator tab on the Test page of the developer console.
• D. Use the Voice & Tone tab on the Test page in the developer console.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because making changes directly in the skill code and testing on the device allows for immediate feedback on the voice response. Options B and C involve unnecessary steps that delay testing, while option D does not provide a way to modify the response speed effectively.
