Q1. After an exclusive (XOR) gateway, exactly one alternativepath is executed.
Q2. Consider the process fragment given in Fig.1. The parallel (AND) gateway that connects the activities B and C indicates that these two activities should be executed at the same time.
Fig.1
Q3. An exclusive (XOR) gateway can be used to model repetition.
Q4. An inclusive (OR) gateway can activate concurrent paths.
Q5. An event-based gateway (as given in Fig. 2) can activate either one or multiple paths but not all.
Fig.2
Q6. An event-based gateway cannot be directly followed by a message-sending event.
Q7. The process model given below (Fig.3) has syntactical errors (i.e. violates BPMN v2 modeling rules).
Fig.3
Q8. There is a deadlock in the process model given below (Fig.4).
Fig.4
Q9. The problem in the process model given below (Fig.4) can be solved if the merging exclusive (XOR) gateway is replaced with merging parallel (AND) gateway.
Q10. There are two message-receiving events in the process model given below (Fig.5).
Fig.5
Q11. A message flow can be used to connect process elements in the same pool (e.g., Fig.6 gives an example where two collapsed sub-processes, A and C, are connected through a message flow).
Fig.6
Q12. Fig. 7 shows a process model, where the labels for the activities show (besides the activity names) the minimum duration for each activity to complete (in days). Accordingly, the process in Fig.7 takes at minimum 8 days to complete.
Fig.7
Q13. A sub-process cannot have another sub-process nested within.
Q14. If a task has two input arcs, it is the same as if the task was preceded by a joining exclusive (XOR-join) gateway.
Q15. In BPMN, both pools and lanes may represent a process participant, a business unit or a software system.
Q16. In BPMN, the tasks that are enclosed within a group (as exemplified in Fig.8) are related to each other for clarification or documentary purposes and may include tasks in multiple pools or lanes.
