Oracle Field Service Cloud Service 2020 Implementation Essentials — Question 9

Which two statements are true about implementing an API-First strategy? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. It generally is assumed that SOAP/WSDL are the key specifications for defining the API.
• B. You define the API definition/contract first before any work on its implementation or any applications that use it, allowing teams to work in parallel.
• C. The API is to be developed first before any UI or new business logic are created.
• D. The code to execute business logic needs to exist and be exposed as an API first before you build a strategy around it.

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

The correct answer is B and C because an API-First strategy emphasizes defining the API before development begins, enabling parallel workflows. Option A is incorrect as it inaccurately suggests that SOAP/WSDL are the primary specifications; API-First typically involves RESTful approaches. Option D is also wrong since it implies that the business logic must be in place before the API is defined, which contradicts the API-First philosophy.
