  • Publication number: 20230367702
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11797432
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11789853
    Abstract: Test cases for existing workflows (or workflows under test) may be created and executed. A test case may be created for a workflow in production or one or more parts of the workflow, and the created test case for the workflow, or the one or more parts of the workflow, may be executed to identify environmental and/or automation issues for the workflow. A failed workflow test may be reported when the environmental and/or automation issues are identified.

  • Patent number: 11494291
    Abstract: A system and a computer-implemented method for analyzing workflow of test automation associated with a robotic process automation (RPA) application are disclosed herein. The computer-implemented method includes receiving the workflow of the test automation associated with the RPA application and analyzing, via an Artificial Intelligence (AI) model associated with a workflow analyzer module, the workflow of the test automation based on a set of pre-defined test automation rules. The computer-implemented method further includes determining one or more metrics associated with the analyzed workflow of the test automation and generating, via the AI model, corrective activity data based on the determined one or more metrics.

  • Publication number: 20220100639
    Abstract: A system and a computer-implemented method for generating a test automation file for an application under test are disclosed herein. The computer-implemented method includes obtaining an image file associated with the application under test and identifying one or more control elements in the image file. The computer-implemented method further includes generating test automation recording data for the image file using a computer vision component, by recording one or more actions performed by a user on the one or more control elements of the image file. The computer-implemented method further includes using the test automation recording data to generate the test automation file at a design stage. The computer-implemented method further includes using the test automation file for testing a live application, at a development stage. The live application can be an RPA application.
