There are many reasons to use Alias queues.

Here's one

Dev Queue APP.DEV.INPUT
Test Queue APP.TST.INPUT
UAT Queue APP.UAT.INPUT
Prod Queue APP.PRD.INPUT

All different names. So how do you make an application use them without code changes?
Answer, use and ALIAS Q

Code the application to use APP.INPUT.

Then
in DEV APP.INPUT is an alias of APP.DEV.INPUT
In Test APP.INPUT is an alias of APP.TST.INPUT
etc
etc

That do for starters.
Enjoy your certification test.

Can you explain where in the documentation you have found any mention of an alias queue?

The technical term is QAlias definition.

A queue alias is just another name for a queue, an abstraction. Programmers don't need to know the real name for a queue, just a name for a queue.

This type abstraction is consistent with an applications use of a file. The program doesn't explicitly name the file-system path and file name. Rather, the program refers to a short alias; and the environment resolves the short alias to the path and file name.

A QA definition also allows for different security rules, different put/get enable/disable, and so on.

@prasadchsp : Hi.. You can start with IBM WebSphere MQv6.0 Admin. RedBook. In the first chapter of it, you can find the details about MQ Object and their definitions & usage.
Reading & Following is the best policy Good Luck.
