• 1. What Are The Differences Between Blue Prism
  And Uipath?
• UiPath and Blue Prism both the tools have their
  respective software/Studio and they are very
  good. UI and BP both have visual process
  designers for developing the solutions.
• Differences
• In terms of programming languages
• Blue Prism Uses C for coding
• UiPath uses VB for coding
• In terms of Control Room/Dashboard
• UiPath control room??The Orchestrator??is
  web-based, you can access it from the browser or
  mobile.
• BP have client based servers, accessible only
  through their apps.
• In terms of cost and uses UiPath

  data entry is made easy from one system to
  another.
• Application migration??migrates application data
  and records as part of an upgrade.
• Automation of reports??automates data to provide
  accurate reports.
• Rule-based decision making??RPA can handle
  decision matrices efficiently and arrive at
  simple rule-based decisions accurately.
• Well-defined Processing??Automatically enters
  inputs from source systems into target systems.
• 3. What Are The Advantages Of Using RPA?
• By using RPA
• Revenue is expanded.
• More products are made available on the Internet.
• Promote Self-Service options.
• Present information regarding an issue
  automatically.

3

• Efficiency is increased.
• 4. What are the important Phases of RPA Life
  Cycle? Phases of RPA Life Cycle
• Analysis The first phase in RPA begins with
  analysis. Business team and RPA Architect work
  together to understand a business process for
  RPA development.
• Bot Development RPA developer (Team) starts
  working on the requirement in their environment
  possibly a distinct development environment.
• Testing Some companies conduct Testing by
  Separate Testing Team, while some have a
  dedicated testing team which performs a
  dedicated QA like normal SDLC flow. Best Practice
  is to have a dedicated testing team which
  performs QA of a developed bot.
• Deployment and Maintenance After the Development
  and Testing phases, a bot is ready for
  distribution and enters the maintenance phase.

Robotic Process
5. What are the Limitations of
Automation? Limitations of RPA are

• RPA surely improves company efficiency by
  powering repetitive human effort, but there are
  limitations to the types of work that it can be
  applied to??especially ones that require
  judgment.
• RPA is not a cognitive computing solution. It
  cannot learn from experience and therefore has a
  shelf life.
• Implementing RPA to a broken and incompetent
  process will not fix it. RPA is not a Business
  Process Management solution and does not bring
  an end-to-end process view.

4

• Enterprises need to be aware of various inputs
  coming from multiple sources.
• It cannot read any data that is non-electronic wit
  h unstructured inputs.
• 6. Five Facts of Robotic Process Automation RPA
• Experts predict that Workforce automation is one
  of the technology disruptors, as per a report
  from CGI and other sources, few of the facts and
  figures on software robotics or RPA are
• One could automate 47 of tasks using RPA
• With RPA tools the processing time could be
  reduced by 40
• RPA may boost the growth of IoT and Big data
  technology products and integration.
• RPA Tools would provide enhanced Analytics and
  Visualization models that are customer focused
  and beneficial for business.
• RPA is a strategic decision that needs to be
  implemented after assessing the ROI.
• 7. Differences between Test Automation and RPA
• There are multiple overlaps between a Test
  Automation Tool and RPA tool. For instance, they
  both drive screen, keyboard, mouse, etc. and
  have similar tech architecture. But following are
  the key differences between the two
• Testing Automation
• Traditional automation tool is designed
  specifically for testing only for GUI or
  Web-based systems.
• Test Automation is applied only to the product
  and its features.
• Test automation works across different
  environments, i.e., QA, UAT, Prod, etc

5

• Test Automation is limited to QA
• Developing all advance features will depend on
  the testing tool. And not sure even if it will
  support.
• In traditional automation, we cannot automate any
  application until we do not have an instance of
  that application (which need to automate). E.g.
  web applications URL, or Windows application exe
  path required for automation.
• RPA
• RPA tools can easily automate processes spanning
  across interfaces like legacy systems, virtual
  machines, both desktop web-based applications,
  backend process etc.
• RPA could be applied to other business processes,
  with or without the user interface.
• RPA meant to runs only in the production
  environment.
• RPA systems could be used by all individuals
  across the firm in terms of creation and usage.
• Most of these tools have the ready to use
  features that speeds up process design (through
  ready process templates) and implementation into
  the RPA container.
• RPA tool can automate applications even if you
  dont have direct access to the application
  (URL/EXE). Assume you need to automate some
  applications which are installed on a virtual
  machine and its URL/EXE cannot access from
  outside.
• Again, RPA tools like UIPath, Blue prism can be
  used for test automation. Vice versa, advanced
  automation tools like UFT can be used for RPA if
  you have good coding skill. But RPA tools for
  more fit for purpose.
• 8. What does the future of RPA look like?
• Current value propositions aside, its important
  to consider the future developments and
  advancements in RPA capabilities.

Today, robotic software is rules-based and
exceptions require human intervention for
resolution. But are RPA software robots capable
of completing cognitive tasks? What would the
collaboration between RPA and more intelligent
solutions, such as artificial intelligence,
entail? With the contribution of cognitive
algorithms and machine learning, RPA will be able
to adapt to more complex situations,
independently correcting errors and applying
judgment. While transactional processes are the
current focus of automation technology, the
convergence of RPA with AI is on the near
horizon. In a whitepaper titled Automate this,
Deloitte suggests, the merge of RPA and AI is
expected to happen in three areas within the
market, across solutions, and among processes.
The whitepaper goes on to argue that These
systems could operate as the heart and lungs
of an organization, taking in key data inputs
and performing all of the internal processes that
are core to the business. The abilities of both
RPA and cognitive products will be combined into
a single solution that will allow tasks to be
automated in an adaptive and responsive way to
maximize business outcomes. The software robots
will be able to analyze elaborate activities
just like a human employee in order to deliver
superior performance and a more valuable customer
experience. 9. What processes are the best fits
for RPA automation? One of the benefits of RPA
is it can be used to automate tasks in any
industry, including insurance, healthcare,
banking and financial services, procurement,
supply chain management, and manufacturing.
While many of the tasks in these industries vary
in their outcomes, they also have commonalities
that make them suitable for automation. Some of
the back office tasks ideal for automation Are
repetitive and consistent. These activities
remain fixed over time and are not variable.
Robots follow rules, so the tasks
7

• for automation should consist of unambiguous
  steps taken in a defined manner each time.
  Examples include data entry and migration,
  payroll, accounts payable, and more general copy-
  paste and swivel-chair tasks.
• Dont require constant human intervention. While
  robots can be stopped in the middle of a process
  and will alert human employees when reaching an
  exception, the most ideal processes are those
  that can be entirely automated. This will lead
  to the most effective results, such as cost
  reduction and increased productivity, in the
  shortest possible timetable.
• Are high-volume and time-consuming. Processes,
  such as orders and claims processing, that
  require a large investment of time and effort on
  behalf of your employees, as well as those that
  are the most burdensome for your organization,
  are ones that warrant and justify RPA
  implementation.
• What are the basic or the general requirements of
  RAP for front and back office processing?
• Well, the fact is RPA is well-known for its
  flexibility and it is capable to meet the robust
  IT standards without compromising the security.
  It is possible to use the robotic software for
  front and back office. Most of the requirements
  are the same for both of them and thus users
  need not worry. The same configuration can
  easily be deployed and the results that can be
  derived are always superior in every aspect.
• Name any two scripting standards that you will
  consider during automation testing?
• Adequate indentation and Uniform naming
  convention
• What do you by mean by the term Information
  Collection in RPA?
• In RPA, robots need raw data or information to
  perform their operations smoothly and reliably.
  They generally collect this information from
  different resources and it is also possible that
  the same can be provided to them manually.

• What are the factors that are encouraging the
  organizations to proceed with RPA according to
  you?
• Well, the biggest factor is RPA always makes sure
  of error-free results which mean no wastage of
  time. Of course, time is money in the present
  scenario. Organizations need not worry about
  paying extreme attention to quality verification
  and testing the results again and again. Also,
  it needs less human interference which always
  makes sure of no conflicts and fast operations.
  Moreover, for organizations, its only one-time
  investment and results are forever.
• How can you say RPA is Wide-Range Automation in
  a true sense?
• Well, the fact is RPA always make sure of
  accuracy irrespective of the task one performs
  through it. It can be considered in modern
  banking, telecom, insurance, healthcare,
  security, intelligence, as well as in the
  communications sector. By boosting the
  transaction process, it is possible for the users
  to simply automate the programs that are highly
  complex and need extra time if handled with
  other methods.
• For an Agile method when you will avoid using the
  automation testing?
• When there is a frequent change in the
  requirements or when the documentation required
  is extremely massive. This is due to the fact
  that things can go wrong if automation is
  considered at that time.
