What are the 2 types of rules? - ANSWER - >Gosu Rules and Business Rules Gosu Rules - ANSWER - >Created in GW studio by developers; capable of handling more complex logic and cover a wider variety of business processes/objects; works on a specific business object/entity Business Rules - ANSWER - >Created in Business Rules admin screens by non-developers; meant for simpler logic What are 3 categories that Gosu rules can be organized in? - ANSWER - >- Approval
- Assignment
- Validation Approval Rules - ANSWER - >Triggered by creation or update of a financial transaction Assignment Rules - ANSWER - >Triggered by creation of business objects that can be assigned (ie. claims, activities, exposures) Validation Rules - ANSWER - >Triggered by creation or update of activity, claim, contact, exposure; different
from assignment rules because it can be triggered by an update and even wider variety of business objects What does a Gosu rule consist of? - ANSWER - >A condition that is either true or false, and an action that is executed Gosu Rules: Non-developer responsibilities - ANSWER - >- Determine business reqs for condition and action logic
- Communicate requirements to developers Gosu Rules: Developer responsibilities - ANSWER - >- Determine correct category for rule
- Code and test the rule logic How do non-developers use business rules? - ANSWER -
Used to create Activities, Exposures, and Reserves
What are the 4 components of a Business rule? - ANSWER - >-Basic info
- Applicability criteria
- Rule conditions
- Actions
- Developer: writes code, determines if the code applies to one or multiple objects, implements the req and tests it How are Gosu classes determined? - ANSWER - >They are based on Business objects Utility classes - ANSWER - >handle common, reusable tasks and calculations How do GW apps use entity names? - ANSWER - >To represent a business object as a text string Entity names - ANSWER - >Text displayed in the UI for business objects Can entity names be modified? - ANSWER - >Yes, if the insurance carrier wants to include different info. ONLY developers can create and modify entity names How is logic configured into an entity name? - ANSWER -
two or more information/logic fields can be combined to create an entity name (ie. order number of claim + los party + exposure type + claimant name)
How do you determine app logic changes? - ANSWER - >- review the fields on each screen and identify any fields to be added or removed (Screen content)
- look at how a user would navigate through the screen(s) and see if you need to change anything (Screen navigation)
- consider what validations are needed when entering data and if a user should be warned when data is missing (Field Validation)
- review options for assigning work to users and document the reqs (Assignment options)
- when claims and exposures are created, are there activities that should be created (Initial workplan)
- should exposures be created when loss details are captured (Exposure creation)
- does sufficient history exist to create reserves for new exposures (Initial reserves) Provide an example of why a non-developer should have a basic understanding of app logic? - ANSWER - >- Most projects require some changes to the app logic
- Non-developers define reqs for Ui changes
- Non-developers help define reqs for Gosu rules
- Non-developers define reqs for business rules
What are common GW Integration points? - ANSWER - >- Authentication systems
- Doc management systems
- Address book application systems Why understand Integration? - ANSWER - >-To assist with documenting reqs and communicating them to developers (Data mapping between systems)

- Understanding what triggers the integration and triggers in general IS Integration Mechanisms - ANSWER - >-Predefined plugins
- Web Services
- Messaging
- Startable plugins
- Batch processes Predefined plugins - ANSWER - >Gosu classes that a GW app invokes to perform an action or calculate a result at a specific time in its business logic
Web Services - ANSWER - >Define request-and-response APIs that let you call an API on a remote computer or get info from an remote computer; XML-based information exchange system; GW can both publish and consume internet web services Messaging - ANSWER - >GW app is programmed to send a message to an external system when an important event occurs. (ie. A change triggers and event that executes Gosu code) External system only receives messages for successful events and sends an acknowledgement that the message was received in response Startable plugins - ANSWER - >Custom code that begins executing during server startup; not evoked by another code but can be stopped and started as required; listens for requests from an external system Batch processes - ANSWER - >Run in the background and perform tasks independent of an admin; execute on a batch server; reports results to a log or the user interface; Runs according to a schedule/periodic basis and is not triggered by a specific event
What stages of the Guidewire lifecycle are done in sprints? - ANSWER - >Inception, Development, and Stabilization. Because these are done as a set of sprints, each step in these phases is repeated many times during that phase What phases are considered "Delivery phases"? - ANSWER - >Development, Stabilization, Deployment What is a commonality between all phases of the Guidewire lifecycle? - ANSWER - >Project Tracking and Guidance What are the key Pre-inception deliverables? - ANSWER -
