AEP case studies
AEP · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The Appian Certified Associate Developer credential is an entry-level certification for people who build applications on the Appian low-code platform. It suits developers starting their first Appian project, consultants who configure rather than code, and analysts moving into build roles. Candidates are expected to understand the platform's architecture, model data in records, design interfaces, build process models, call external services, apply security, and move objects through deployment and testing. The exam is delivered as scored multiple-choice and multiple-response questions, and the official Appian certification pages publish the current question count, time limit, fee, passing score, and retake rules. The AEP case studies are 5 cases and about 2,308 words.
