Publication number: 20230367702Abstract: A robot design interface comprises tools for testing a robotic process automation (RPA) workflow. Some embodiments automatically generate a mock workflow comprising a duplicate of an original workflow, wherein a set of RPA activities are replaced with substitute activities for testing purposes. Some embodiments expose an intuitive interface co-displaying the substitute activities in parallel to their respective original activities and enabling a user to configure various mock parameters. Testing is then carried out on the mock workflow.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2023Publication date: November 16, 2023Inventors: Thomas STOCKER, Christian MAYER, Gerd WEISHAAR

Patent number: 11797432Abstract: A robotic process automation (RPA) robot performs fuzzing on a workflow. The robot provides a randomized typed data input in a workflow, and executes the workflow as a black box with the randomized typed data input. The robot creates test case when a new path is discovered based on an output of the workflow, and terminates the fuzzing when a desired path coverage has been reached.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2022Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: UiPath, Inc.Inventors: Thomas Stocker, Gerd Weishaar

Patent number: 8996387Abstract: For clearing transaction data selected for a processing, there is generated in a portable data carrier (1) a transaction acoustic signal (003; 103; 203) (S007; S107; S207) upon whose acoustic reproduction by an end device (10) at least transaction data selected for the processing are reproduced superimposed acoustically with a melody specific to a user of the data carrier (1) (S009; S109; S209). The generated transaction acoustic signal (003; 103; 203) is electronically transferred to an end device (10) (S108; S208), which processes the selected transaction data (S011; S121; S216) only when the user of the data carrier (1) confirms vis-à-vis the end device (10) an at least partial match both of the acoustically reproduced melody with the user-specific melody and of the acoustically reproduced transaction data with the selected transaction data (S010; S110, S116; S210).Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2009Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: Giesecke & Devrient GmbHInventors: Thomas Stocker, Michael Baldischweiler

Patent number: 8819373Abstract: In a process for memory management in the execution of a program by a portable data carrier which has a first and a second memory region for the storage of objects generated in program execution, an object is initially created at least in part in the second memory region. If, in the course of further program execution, a persistent reference to the object is generated, the object is transferred to the first memory region. In a process for converting a source program into an executable program, a check is carried out at compile time as to whether a persistent reference to an object to be newly created is generated. Depending on the result of that check, program code is generated which creates the object either in the first or at least in part in the second memory region.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2004Date of Patent: August 26, 2014Assignee: Giesecke & Devrient GmbHInventors: Thomas Stocker, Georg Kramphosthuber
