Job Role Description / Target Audience

This intermediate level certification is intended for technical professionals with a working knowledge of the IBM WebSphere ILOG JRules V7.0 platform needed to develop applications.  These technical professionals have gained practical experience through the design and implementation of business rule solutions using IBM WebSphere ILOG JRules V7.0.  In particular, application developers need to demonstrate their experience with the:
  1. design of rule projects.
  2. designing and authoring of rules.
  3. rule orchestration.
  4. deployment of rules. 
  5. rule execution integration.
  6. rule testing and simulation using DVS.
  7. use of all product modules (Rule Studio, RTS, RES, RSO, DVS, Decision Warehouse).
  8. basic Java API of the product
To attain the IBM Certified Application Developer - WebSphere ILOG JRules V7.0 certification, candidates must pass 1 test.  To gain additional knowledge and skills, and prepare for the tests based on the job roles and test objectives, take the link to the test below, and refer to the Test Preparation tab.

Test 000-529: IBM WebSphere ILOG JRules V7.0, Application Development

Overview

  1. Number of questions: 53
  2. Time allowed in minutes: 150
  3. Required passing score: 56%
  4. Test languages: English, Japanese

Objective

The test consists of five sections containing a total of 53 multiple-choice questions. The percentages after each section title reflect the approximate distribution of the total question set across the sections.

Each test:
  1. contains questions requiring single and multiple answers. For multiple-answer questions, you need to choose all required options to get the answer correct. You will be advised how many options make up the correct answer. 
  2. is designed to provide diagnostic feedback on the Examination Score Report, correlating back to the test objectives, informing the test taker how he or she did on each section of the test. As a result, to maintain the integrity of each test, questions and answers are not distributed

Section 1 - Rule Design (26%)

  1. Given a business rule scenario, including a business rule, identify how the rule should be implemented.
  2. Identify how rule elements are organized in Rule Studio.

  4. Identify the characteristics and designing of XOM.
  5. Establish BOM to XOM mapping.
  6. Orchestrate rule execution.
  7. Identify the need for a rule extension model.
Section 2 - Rule Authoring (28%)
  1. Given a scenario, determine which rule artifact should be used.
  2. Given a scenario, determine which variable (automatic, ruleset, rule) or parameter should be used.
  3. Identify the rule editor that should be used.
  4. Identify the correct use of BAL language constructs.
  5. Identify the correct use of IRL language constructs.
  6. Define and improve the verbalization of the rules.
  7. Given a scenario, identify which rule authoring configuration is needed.
Section 3 - Rule Execution (21%)
  1. Execute rules in Rule Studio.
  2. Given a scenario, choose the correct engine algorithm.
  3. Debug rule execution.
  4. Given a scenario, identify the appropriate rule engine integration strategy.
