RPA tools are becoming increasingly vital in software development, especially in one of the most important — and time-consuming — tasks: software testing. To ensure a product functions properly before being released to the public, developers must carry out several different rounds of test execution, validation and reporting to highlight any areas that need repair or improvement.
Throughout the history of software development, test automation tools have existed to execute common workflows and assist developers in ironing out the kinks of their product. However, these tools have often been cumbersome and expensive, requiring a deep knowledge of coding that makes them difficult to set up. Additionally, many test automation tools necessitate a certain amount of manual testing, turning a seemingly automated process into a task that still requires human intervention.
The introduction of robotic process automation (RPA) tools has revolutionized software testing, making it easier and more efficient than ever before. Built to follow an automated workflow, RPA tools can be set to automatically carry out software testing on a wide scale without the need for human intervention. Using RPA tools helps teams greatly reduce the time spent on boring and repetitive tasks, which can ultimately lead to human error. By following a structured, rules-based workflow, RPA tools can execute automation testing with greater efficiency than human beings, freeing up employees to focus on high-value tasks.
RPA tools typically require no programming skills, making it easy for non-technical users to establish a workflow for a digital worker to follow. When testing a user interface or API, users equipped with RPA tools can simply build a workflow that doesn’t require additional work to carry out the automation. With the help of detailed analytics and reporting, these tools can be analyzed and adjusted to ensure testing is occurring thoroughly and accurately.
RPA are incredibly useful for testing because they can be deployed across a wide range of platforms. Instead of having to find specific automation tools for particular operating systems or devices, RPA tools are often flexible and platform-independent, supporting web-based, desktop, and legacy application testing. Virtual machines through RPA tools also make it possible to scale testing at any time, saving resources while speeding up the testing process.
Many new automation software are beginning to employ artificial intelligence capabilities that can continuously improve upon their workflows. Rather than having to manually adjust specific tasks, smart tools can refine their behavior over time, making testing an automatic process that can be trusted to run without additional supervision. This advancement not only increases efficiency but also ensures a higher level of accuracy and reliability in testing results.
