IBM BPM Test

The IBM BPM Test makes use of scenario-based questions to test for on-the-job skills as opposed to theoretical knowledge, ensuring that candidates who do well on this screening test have the relavant skills. The questions are designed to covered following on-the-job aspects:

• Understanding and utilizing Business Objects
• Implementing and managing Webservices
• Tracking and troubleshooting BPM processes
• Managing multi-instantiation scenarios
• Developing and configuring Process Apps
• Creating and managing Time Schedules in BPM
• Documenting BPM processes and artifacts
• Implementing error handling mechanisms
• Designing and implementing complex BPM workflows
• Optimizing BPM processes for performance

Once the test is sent to a candidate, the candidate receives a link in email to take the test. For each candidate, you will receive a detailed report with skills breakdown and benchmarks to shortlist the top candidates from your pool.

• Business Objects

  Business Objects is a feature in IBM BPM that allows the creation and management of reusable components, such as data objects, document types, and user interfaces. This skill should be measured in the test to assess a candidate's ability to design and implement Business Objects effectively, which is crucial for building scalable and maintainable process applications.

• Webservice

  Webservice refers to the capability of IBM BPM to interact with external systems through web services. It involves designing, integrating, and consuming web services in process applications. Measuring this skill in the test is important to evaluate a candidate's proficiency in working with external systems and ensuring seamless integration in BPM solutions.

• Tracking

  Tracking is the mechanism in IBM BPM that captures and records process instance data, allowing for process monitoring and analytics. Measuring this skill in the test helps assess a candidate's understanding of how to effectively configure and utilize tracking capabilities in IBM BPM, which is essential for ensuring process visibility and identifying areas for improvement.

• Multi-instantiation

  Multi-instantiation refers to the ability to create multiple instances of a process or sub-process in IBM BPM. This skill should be measured in the test as it demonstrates a candidate's proficiency in designing and implementing complex process flows that involve parallel execution and concurrency, which is often required in real-world BPM scenarios.

• Process Apps

  Process Apps in IBM BPM are the building blocks of process-centric applications, encompassing all the components required for modeling, executing, and managing processes. Measuring this skill in the test helps evaluate a candidate's competence in developing robust and scalable process applications that meet business requirements, making it a crucial skill for BPM practitioners.

• Time Schedule

  Time Schedule is a feature in IBM BPM that allows the scheduling and execution of tasks based on specific time-based criteria, such as deadlines or recurring intervals. Measuring this skill in the test is important to assess a candidate's ability to effectively utilize time-based process management capabilities in IBM BPM, enabling them to design and implement efficient and timely process workflows.

• Documentation

  Documentation involves creating comprehensive and well-structured documentation for IBM BPM artifacts, such as process models, decision tables, and user interfaces. Measuring this skill in the test helps evaluate a candidate's attention to detail, organizational skills, and ability to produce clear and concise documentation, which is essential for ensuring proper understanding and maintenance of BPM solutions.

• Error Handling

  Error Handling involves designing and implementing mechanisms to handle exceptions and errors that may occur during the execution of BPM processes. Measuring this skill in the test allows for an assessment of a candidate's ability to identify potential error scenarios, implement appropriate error handling strategies, and ensure robustness and fault tolerance in BPM solutions.
