AXS-C01 Online Practice Questions and Answers

An Alexa Skill Builder wants a skill to inform the users of the number of times they have launched the skill.

What approach should the Builder take to track this information?

A. Store and increment a launchCount session attribute.

B. Using the ASK SDK, implement a persistent attribute that is stored and retrieved from Amazon DynamoDB.

C. Perform a scan of the Amazon DynamoDB table for the number of records and count each record as a skill launch.

D. Set up a global variable in the code project that increments each time the code is invoked by Amazon Alexa.

An Alexa Skill Builder has published a skill to the Alexa Skills Store, but soon after realizes that Amazon Alexa is saying an incorrect word in one of the responses.

What is the recommended method for the Builder to correct this issue?

A. Correct the response in a new endpoint, and after updating the In Development version of the skill, redeploy it.

B. Access the In Development version of the skill, alter the intent that was causing the incorrect word, then resubmit the skill for certification.

C. Edit the response in a new endpoint, and after updating the In Development version of the skill, resubmit it for certification.

D. Correct the response in the existing endpoint of the Live version of the skill, then redeploy it.

An Alexa Skill Builder is developing a custom skill and needs to verify that the correct slot values are being passed into the AWS Lambda function.

According to best practices, what is the MOST efficient way to capture this information?

A. Add a logging statement to write the event request to Amazon CloudWatch Logs.

B. Add an API call to write the environment variables to an Amazon S3 bucket when the function is invoked.

C. Add an API call to read the event information from AWS Cloud Trail logs and add a PutObject API call to write to an Amazon S3 bucket.

D. Add a statement to parse the JSON request and save to the local disk for the Lambda function

An Alexa Skill Builder is developing a skill containing a multi-turn dialog that can be invoked with or without a specific intent request. On invocation, the skill needs to retrieve persistent attributes that have been saved by a previous invocation, and then copy them into session attributes.

How should the Builder implement this functionality?

A. Place logic within the skill's SessionEndedRequest intent handler to copy the persistent attributes into the session attributes.

B. Implement ResponseInterceptor containing logic that takes the current persistent attributes and copies them into session attributes.

C. Include logic within the LaunchRequest intent handler to retrieve persistent attributes and copy them into session attributes.

D. Implement RequestInterceptor containing logic which for new sessions, retrieves persistent attributes and copies them into session attributes

An Alexa Skill Builder receives feedback from users that a specific utterance causes Amazon Alexa to trigger the skill's AMAZON.HelpIntent rather than triggering the correct intent and slot.

How can the Builder reproduce this behavior to troubleshoot the problem?

A. Use the AWS Lambda test feature to send a request with the given intent and slot combination.

B. Set up a unit test in the code base to simulate what happens when the given intent and slot combination are dispatched within the skill.

C. Use the Manual JSON tab on the Test page of the developer console to see what happens when a request for the given intent and slot combination is sent to the skill

D. Use the Alexa Simulator tab on the Test page of the developer console to test the utterances the users have reported.

During testing of a new Amazon Alexa skill, the skill is repeatedly failing and invoking the function defined in the addErrorHandler method specified on the SkillBuilder object. Upon inspection of Amazon CloudWatch Logs, the Alexa Skill Builder establishes that the failure is occurring whenever AMAZON.HelpIntent is being received.

How should this error be corrected?

A. AMAZON.HelpIntent should be handled by the SDK. The Builder should raise a support ticket with Amazon.

B. The Builder should ensure that the intent handler is coded so that it tests for AMAZON.HelpIntent in its canHandle method, and when detected, returns true.

C. The Builder should add logic to provide help instructions to the function defined in the addErrorHandler method specified on the SkillBuilder object.

D. The Builder should add an AMAZON.HelpIntent entry to the interaction model to ensure the request for help is recognized by the skill.

An Alexa Skill Builder noticed that a large percentage of a food ordering skill's customers are not completing their transactions. The Builder needs to know what portion of the customers are leaving the skill by not responding, compared to the portion of customers who receive an error.

Which report inside the Analytics section of the developer console will provide this information?

A. Session Type Distribution

B. Unique Customers Per Intent

C. Average Session Per Customer

D. Failed Utterances Per Intent

Which of the following occur when a beta test of a live skill times out? (Choose two.)

A. The beta tester will lose access to the beta skill and will need to reenable the live skill

B. The beta tester will receive an email saying the beta test has ended

C. The administrator will receive an email confirming that the beta tester has been removed

D. The beta tester will lose access to the beta skill but will maintain access to the live skill

E. The beta skill history in the Amazon Alexa app will disappear once the beta test has ended

An Alexa Skill Builder is designing a skill with an intent that needs six slots to be filled. It is unlikely that a user will provide all the slot values in a single utterance, so the slot fulfillment should be split up into a multi-turn conversation.

What can the Builder do in the developer console to have Amazon Alexa elicit any missing slots, without specifying each of the slots in the backend code?

A. Keep track of what slots are filled in session attributes, and in the backend code, prompt the user for the missing slots using Dialog.ElicitSlot.

B. Mark those six slots are required, fill in the necessary prompts, and in the backend code, use the Dialog.Delegate directive until all slots are filled.

C. Mark those six slots are required, fill in the necessary prompts, and in the backend code, use the Dialog.ConfirmSlot directive until all slots are filled

D. Mark those six slots are required, fill in the necessary prompts, and in the backend code, use the Dialog.ElicitSlot directive until all slots are filled.

The information below details a portion of an interaction model in JSON: What is wrong with this interaction model?

A. The intent naming convention is not valid in the situation.

B. The two intents do not have unique slots.

C. The two intents do not have unique utterances.

D. The JSON is not properly constructed and would cause an error.
