01E-Commerce Fundamentals and Business Models (电子商务概论与商业模式)
Domain 1 checks whether you can place an arbitrary business inside the standard framework, name its transaction parties, and explain how it actually earns money. Questions are short scenarios followed by "which model / which revenue stream / which flow is missing".
374 words, about 2 min02E-Commerce System Planning and Analysis (电子商务系统规划与分析)
Domain 2 tests planning methods, feasibility judgement, and structured versus object-oriented requirements analysis. Expect a short case asking which planning method fits, whether the project is economically viable, or how a data flow diagram should be decomposed.
354 words, about 2 min03E-Commerce System Design and Architecture (电子商务系统设计与体系结构)
Domain 3 asks you to turn requirements into an architecture: layers, deployment topology, decomposition, and the mechanisms that keep a busy shop alive during a promotion. Answers are judged on whether each design choice is justified by a quality attribute.
405 words, about 2 min04Web and Mobile Application Development (Web与移动应用开发)
Domain 4 covers the front-end/back-end contract, session handling, mobile delivery choices, and payment integration. Questions are practical: which status code, where validation happens, which mobile form fits the requirement.
373 words, about 2 min05Database Design and Data Management (数据库设计与数据管理)
Domain 5 tests schema design from an ER model, normalisation judgement, indexing, transaction behaviour, and the scaling techniques used when one database is no longer enough. Calculations on isolation levels and shard keys are common.
366 words, about 2 min06Network, Security, and Payment Technologies (网络、安全与支付技术)
Domain 6 combines the network path a transaction travels, the cryptographic primitives that protect it, the attacks that break it, and the settlement process behind online payment. Expect flow-ordering questions: who signs with which key, at which step.
436 words, about 2 min07E-Commerce Operations, Marketing, and Logistics (电子商务运营、营销与物流)
Domain 7 is the commercial half of the exam: funnel metrics, campaign mechanics, customer segmentation, and the physical fulfilment chain behind the click. Questions ask you to compute a rate, diagnose the weakest funnel step, or choose a logistics model.
372 words, about 2 min08Project Management, Standards, and Professional Practice (项目管理、标准与职业规范)
Domain 8 tests the nine knowledge areas in an e-commerce setting, plus the laws, standards and ethical rules a designer works under. Quantitative items are usually schedule or estimate calculations.
419 words, about 2 min09English Reading and Technical Documentation (英语阅读与技术文档)
Domain 9 checks that you can read English specifications and produce documentation Chinese teams actually use: requirements specs, design documents, API references, test reports and user manuals. Questions combine a short English passage with a comprehension item, or ask which document should contain a given piece of information.
