Free Practice Questions for Guidewire ClaimCenter-Business-Analysts Exam

To fully document a requirement that involves both a User Interface change (updating a value on a screen) and a Data Model change (adding a new typecode), the standard Guidewire Story Card tabs required are:

Document Control:Captures the metadata (Author, Version, Owner) to track the requirement's history.

UI Mockup:visually illustrateswhereon the screen the "Loss Cause" field is located and how the dropdown should appear to the Adjuster.

UI Fields:Defines the specific behavior of the field (e.g., Is it mandatory? Is it editable during adjudication? What is the label?).

Typelist:This is critical for this specific scenario. It lists the actual Code, Name, and Description of thenew typecodebeing added to the "Loss Cause" typelist.

Business Acceptance:Defines the testable criteria (Acceptance Criteria) to verify that the adjuster can successfully select the new value and save the claim.

Why Option B is correct:It is the only option that includesboththe visual requirements (Mockup/Fields) and the data requirement (Typelist) alongside the standard control and testing tabs (Document Control/Business Acceptance).

The User Story Card exhibit contains several documentation errors when compared to standard Guidewire requirements gathering best practices and the specific scenario provided.

Missing Requirement Number and Logic Gap (Option C):

Traceability:In the second row of the exhibit (the payment validation rule), the "Requirement Number" column is completely blank. Traceability back to the original requirements document is mandatory for all entries.

Logic Precision:The requirement explicitly states that the rule applies to"personal auto claims". However, the logic documented in the "Rules" column (If Exposure Type = VehicleDamage Then Block...) doesnotcheck the Policy Type. It relies solely on the Exposure Type, which could exist on Commercial Auto policies as well. To accurately reflect the business requirement, the condition If PolicyType = Personal Auto must be added (similar to how it was done in the first row).

Missing DV/LV Context for Validation (Option D):

UI Anchoring:The second requirement is a validation rule that triggers an error ("Driver's Date of Birth is required..."). For the system to highlight the specific field on the screen (the "Driver Date of Birth" widget) when the error occurs, the rule must be associated with the specificDetail View (DV)orList View (LV)where that field resides (e.g., VehicleIncidentDV). The exhibit lists "Not Applicable" in the "Name of DV or LV" column. This is incorrect because providing the DV name ensures the error message is displayed contextually next to the field rather than as a generic page-level error, improving the user experience.

Why other options are incorrect:

Option A:The LOB column is used for filtering, reporting, and release management. Even if the rule logic checks the policy type, the LOB column is required metadata and should not be removed.

Option B:While the first requirement (the calculation) lacks a DV name (which it should have), it is aBusiness Rule(assignment), not a validation. Therefore, it doesnotgenerate an error or warning message for the user, so the second part of Option B is incorrect.

Option E:The "Rules" column is exactly where the calculation logic (Date of Loss - Date of Birth) belongs. The developer needs this information to implement the automation.

To implement the functionality of associating a specific contact (the "Primary Hospital") with an entity (the "Injury Incident") in Guidewire ClaimCenter, two core configuration components are required:

A new primary hospital role (Option B):In ClaimCenter, the relationship between a Contact and a Claim (or Incident) is defined by aRole. While the contact itself might be a "Medical Care Organization" (existing subtype), thecontextof its relationship to this specific incident is that it is the "Primary Hospital". Defining this role allows the system to distinguish this hospital from other medical providers on the same claim.

A new field on the incident screen (Option C):To allow the user to select, add, or view this contact, a UI element (specifically aClaim Contact Pickeror Input widget) must be added to the Injury Incident screen. This field will be configured to store the relationship and allows the user to perform the required actions: selecting from existing contacts (filtered by the role), entering new ones, or searching the Address Book.

Why other options are incorrect:

A (New Subtype):The base product already includes the MedicalCareOrg contact subtype, which is sufficient to store hospital data. Creating a new subtype is unnecessary unless the data structure (fields) of a hospital is fundamentally different from other medical providers.

D (Address Book Field):Contacts in the Address Book are typically identified by tags or their Subtype, not by adding a custom field just to identify them as a vendor/hospital.

To determine if a transaction requires approval, we must compare the proposed transaction against the Adjuster's Authority Limits and the current financial state of the claim.

Current State:Total Reserves = $3,000 ($2,500 Indemnity + $500 Expense). Total Paid = $0.

Adjuster Limits:

Claim Total Reserves Limit: $5,000

Payments Exceed Reserves Limit: $500

Evaluation of Options:

Option B (No Approval Required):Making a $2,000 payment against the "Claim Cost - Auto body" reserve.

The available reserve is $2,500. Since $2,000 < $2,500, the payment does not exceed the reserve.

The total payments on the claim would be $2,000, which is well below the "Claim payments to date" limit of $5,000.

Option D (No Approval Required):Increasing the Expense reserve to $550.

This increases the total claim reserves from $3,000 to $3,050 ($2,500 + $550).

Since $3,050 is below the Adjuster's "Claim total reserves" limit of $5,000, no approval is triggered.

Why other options require approval:

Option A:A payment of $1,100 against a $500 reserve means the payment exceeds the reserve by$600. The Adjuster's limit for "Payments exceed reserves" is only$500. Since $600 > $500, approval is required.

Option C:Increasing the Auto body reserve to $6,000 would raise the total claim reserves to$6,500($6,000 + $500). This exceeds the Adjuster's "Claim total reserves" limit of $5,000, triggering an approval.

Traceability is the primary driver for assigning unique identification numbers to every business requirement.

Root Cause Analysis (Option C):Throughout the software development lifecycle (SDLC), a requirement flows from the Business Analyst (User Story) to the Developer (Code) and the Tester (Test Case). When a defect is found in production (a support ticket), the unique requirement number allows the team to trace the issue backward. They can determine if the defect was caused by a coding error (Requirement was right, code was wrong) or a requirements gap (Code met the requirement, but the requirement was wrong). This link "back to the root cause" is critical for quality assurance and continuous improvement.

Why other options are incorrect:

A:Unique IDsareconsidered absolutely necessary in formal agile methodologies (like the one used by Guidewire) for traceability matrices.

B:Document control tracks thefilehistory, not the granular requirement history.

D:While IDs do organize data, their function in "standardized order for insertion" is administrative and secondary to the strategic value of traceability described in Option C.
