RPA Vs Test Automation

Automation Robot processes and test automation are two confusing terms in the testing process. Similar to the TDD and BDD processes, RPA and test automation look like a single branch of the test segment that is commonly exchanged in communication during planning. The word "automation" seems to be the culprit in this matter.


When the two conditions end up with automation and someone knows one of them, it is not difficult to consider one more based on primitive knowledge. Even though it's really true that these two processes automate the process, "what" and "how" their automation is completely different.


Before we jump to discuss the detail of the RPA vs test automation, it is better to understand what they have individually.


What is Automation Robot Process (RPA)?

According to Google, the meaning of "robots" is: "the machine resembles a human and is able to replicate certain human movements and functions automatically." Strangely, this definition fits perfectly with RPA by making a little adjustment.


Automation Robot process is the process of mimicing user actions on the system and do automatically. This is achieved through artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithm by studying the pattern of user action.


RPA is achieved through software bots with various capabilities and provided by various developers on the Internet. When a user takes action with RPA Bot, this user's actions are then converted into assignments or actions and done without users.


RPA requires the AI ​​algorithm because it does not blindly run a repetitive test but take the same action taking into account various scenarios. For example, data entries require us to enter data by taking the same actions but with different data. This can be achieved via RPA.



Robotic process automation application in various fields.

The robotic process automation does not require extensive code to understand the problem. Instead, they are run when the user takes action on the graphical user interface. This can be associated with the name RPA which has "process" instead of automation "test" robot.



The code without code makes them an important part of carrying out business related activities such as data entries, taking query or manipulating certain data in the situation. RPA eliminates redundancy in the process and perform repetitive business tasks to achieve efficient and time-saving performance.


RPA benefits.

RPA offers the following benefits:


Efficient results: Bots and RPA processes are very efficient in carrying out their duties. They take less time and wrap everything quickly.

Accurate performance: RPA is a process led machine. Similar to other machine special tasks, RPA also has high accuracy and can work for hours than the human tester.

The use of perfect resources: RPA consumes resources at a steady level and occupies resources only when needed. This method provides a way for other processes.

Cost-effective solution: RPA is a cost-effective solution because the working hours of the manual tester are not calculated. In addition, the work done with RPA is faster which is an additional advantage in cost-cutting.

RPA is a very safe process and the task done is a single task. The opportunity to leak data next to zero and information is exchanged through a safe path.

Help in future planning: RPA does error-free work. This makes overall analysis very accurate and analytic data can then be referred to planning for future business purposes and investments.
