RoboCon 2023 - Difference between RPA and test automation
Test automation tools like Robot Framework have found new use cases in the domain of RPA, which is well suited for many functionalities in them. There is much involved in RPA operations, and "building the robot workflow" is often just the tip of the iceberg. In this talk, we drill into the key differences, what lies beyond the "robot".
"Test automation tools like Robot Framework have found new use cases in the domain of RPA, which is well suited for many functionalities in them. However, there are some significant differences between the paradigms, which causes the test automation tools to perform sub-optimally due to missing features or promoting straight-up anti-patterns.
When building their first RPA use cases with test automation stack, developers often start to encounter pain points and questions like:
I ran these 10000 customer records in an Excel, and 2892 failed. How do I retry only the failed ones?
Finance team wants to run their robots and fix data exceptions by themselves. How do I enable that?
The input data arrives via REST API from another system. How do I get that to robots?
The workload is too much for one machine. How do I scale robot execution over multiple machines for efficiency?
Due to security / compliance requirements, I need to... There is much involved in RPA operations, and ""building the robot workflow"" is often just the tip of the iceberg. In this talk, we drill into the key differences, what lies beyond the ""robot"", and what kind of solutions are needed to address them.
We will also demo the Control Room, including the work item system, which is designed from the ground-up to enable data storage, integrations, exception handling, and dynamic scaling of execution environments for building robust and efficient RPA that takes full benefit of open-source code and cloud scaling."
