Anthropic Claude Certified Architect Foundations (CCA-F) - CCA-F Exam Practice Test
Question 1
You are using Claude Code to accelerate software development. Your team uses it for code generation, refactoring, debugging, and documentation. You need to integrate it into your development workflow with custom slash commands, CLAUDE.md configurations, and understand when to use plan mode vs direct execution.
Your team wants Claude to follow a detailed code review checklist (8 items covering API changes, test coverage, documentation, security, etc.) when reviewing pull requests. The team also uses Claude extensively for other tasks: writing new features, debugging production issues, and generating documentation. Currently, developers paste the checklist at the start of each review session. Which approach best addresses this workflow need?

Question 2
You are building developer productivity tools using the Claude Agent SDK. The agent helps engineers explore unfamiliar codebases, understand legacy systems, generate boilerplate code, and automate repetitive tasks. It uses the built-in tools (Read, Write, Bash, Grep, Glob) and integrates with Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers.
An engineer asks your agent to identify untested code paths in a legacy payment processing module spanning 45 files. After reading the first 8 source files, the agent's responses are becoming noticeably less accurate - it's forgetting previously discussed code patterns and hasn't yet located all test files or traced critical payment flows. What's the most effective approach to complete this investigation?

Question 3
The synthesis agent completes its initial pass but flags that three key research questions remain unanswered because the web search and document analysis agents didn't find relevant information on those specific subtopics. The coordinator currently proceeds directly to report generation, producing reports with incomplete coverage. What change would most effectively improve research completeness?

Question 4
You are building a customer support resolution agent using the Claude Agent SDK. The agent handles high-ambiguity requests like returns, billing disputes, and account issues. It has access to your backend systems through custom Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools ( get_customer, lookup_order , process_refund , escalate_to_human ). Your target is 80%+ first-contact resolution while knowing when to escalate.
After expanding the agent's MCP tools with delivery-specific capabilities ( check_delivery_status , contact_driver , issue_credit , apply_promo_code , update_delivery_address , reschedule delivery ), the total tool count has grown from 4 to 10. Your evaluation suite shows tool selection accuracy has dropped from 88% to 71%. Log analysis reveals the majority of errors involve the agent selecting between semantically overlapping tools - calling issue_credit when process_refund was correct, and calling check_delivery_status when lookup_order already returns the needed data. Which approach structurally eliminates the semantic overlap identified in the logs as the error source?

Question 5
You are building a multi-agent research system using the Claude Agent SDK. A coordinator agent delegates to specialized subagents: one searches the web, one analyzes documents, one synthesizes findings, and one generates reports. The system researches topics and produces comprehensive, cited reports.
When researching "renewable energy adoption," the web search agent returns recent statistics (2024: 35% adoption) while the document analysis agent extracts data from internal reports (2021: 18% adoption). The synthesis agent incorrectly flags these as contradictory sources rather than recognizing the data shows growth over time. What change would best enable the synthesis agent to correctly interpret such temporal differences?

Question 8
Your track_shipment(tracking_id) tool queries an external logistics API that sometimes fails - the API may be temporarily unavailable, the tracking ID may be malformed, or the shipment may not exist. Currently, your tool raises a Python exception when errors occur. Users report the agent gives unhelpful responses like "I'm having trouble with that request" instead of suggesting alternatives such as verifying the tracking number format or checking by order number. How should you handle errors in tool results?

Question 9
You are using Claude Code to accelerate software development. Your team uses it for code generation, refactoring, debugging, and documentation. You need to integrate it into your development workflow with custom slash commands, CLAUDE.md configurations, and understand when to use plan mode vs direct execution.
Your team frequently migrates React components to Vue. You've written a step-by-step workflow for Claude Code to follow during each migration, and you want every developer on the team to invoke it by typing /migrate-component. The workflow should stay in sync as the team iterates on it. Where should you place the skill file?

Question 10
Your control_device tool manages smart home devices through external APIs. When a device doesn't respond within the timeout period, the tool returns an error. Production logs show that the agent simply tells users "the device is not responding" without offering helpful next steps. Which error response structure would best enable the agent to provide useful follow-up?
