performed by people. So, as per the strategy developed
Companies and developing companies or industries planning to
implement RPA Technology in the future to their organization,
for their business purpose. To ensure that being an RPA analyst,
have to get trained from the institute where RPA experts were
handling the subject. As off now Hope Tutors are the best RPA
Training Institute in Chennai.
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:
1. Blue Prism Uses C# for coding
2. UiPath uses VB for coding
In terms of Control Room/Dashboard
1. UiPath control room—The Orchestrator—is web-based, you
can access it from the browser or mobile.
2. BP have client based servers, accessible only through their
apps.
In terms of cost and uses: UiPath:

📷 Lower cost of development

📷 Easier to learn and operate


📷 You can learn by your self

📷 Study materials are easily available on the internet


Blue Prism:

📷 Good for mass scale deployment of a large number of robots

📷 A higher cost of acquiring and using BP

📷 Limited training available as the only source of training is BP

📷 Training cost of Blue Prism is too high


2. Explain The Typical Uses Of RPA?
· Double-data entry—user rekeying of data and 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.
· 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.

5. What are the Robotic Process


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.
· Enterprises need to be aware of various inputs coming from
multiple sources.
· It cannot read any data that is
non-electronic with 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 –
1. One could automate 47 % of tasks using RPA
2. With RPA tools the processing time could be reduced by 40%
3. RPA may boost the growth of IoT and Big data technology
products and integration.
4. RPA Tools would provide enhanced Analytics and
Visualization models that are customer focused and beneficial
for business.
5. 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
· 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 don’t 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, it’s 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
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.
Don’t 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.
10.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.
11.Name any two scripting standards that you will
consider during automation testing?
Adequate indentation and Uniform naming convention
12.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.
13.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.
14.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.
15.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.
