Appian Lead Developer (ACD200) — Question 16

Which of the following is a sign that an application’s performance is degrading and should be addressed with changes to the application design?

Answer options

• A. Integration calls to an external system are consistently returning an HTTP status code of 500.
• B. Three of the top five most executed process models have a low completion percentage.
• C. The number of tasks assigned to users has increased from 1 per day to 5 per day.
• D. The number of objects in the Application has increased from about 100 to about 500.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Option B is correct because a low completion percentage in the most executed process models indicates significant performance issues that must be resolved. Option A points to errors in external calls, but not necessarily a design flaw. Option C reflects increased workload on users, and while it may impact performance, it does not directly indicate a design issue. Option D shows an increase in objects, but without context on performance metrics, it doesn't signify a degradation in performance.
