Guide to RPA-Edureka Course-Beginner level

Robotics Process Automation

 RPA stands for,

R: Entity of programme being performed by a computer for doing complex task
P: Sequence of steps to be performed
A: Task happening automatically without human intervention
 Currently a buzzword. Will never replace the workforce but surely downsize workforce thereby
saving cost, reducing time required and increasing accuracy
 Top 3 tools for RPA are Blue Prism, UiPath and Automation Anywhere.
 Life-cycle of RPA:
Discovery Phase>Solution Design Phase>Development Phase>UAT>Deployment Phase>Execute
Bots

Discovery Phase

 Process Architect defines the task to be automated by following steps:

Perform analysis on client requirements>Decide whether the process can be automated or not>If
the process can’t be automated>Inform the client with listed down reasons>If can be
automated>Measure complexity level>List down benefits
 Example: Data Entry Task
Benefits provided by automation: Less time to read, No errors in storing, Keeps updating the
dataset when sample dataset updated

Solution Design Phase

 Process Architect sits with Technical Architect with Process Definition Document which contains
information about each process step by step like Budget, Number of people working, Time to be
spent on task, etc
 Object Model Flowchart is created which represents complete flow of processes like,
Start>Condition>Next step>Condition>Final step>End
 Example: Data Entry Task-Object Model Diagram

StartMention path of spreadsheet you want to extract data fromMention path of spreadsheet
you want to store data toCondition {If NoEnd} If Yes: Use a counter to store dataSave
the taskExecute the botTask ends when data stored

 Lastly the tool is decided, mostly out of popular 3 tools

Development Phase

 Automation Developer refers to the Process Definition document and starts creating automation
script or the workflow of automation

UAT Phase

 Testing is done by process owner in pre-production environment

Deployment Phase

 Bot is deployed into the production environment and users can use the bot

Execute Phase

 Execute the bot to automate task and see the output

Projects in UiPath Studio

 Like a dashboard with which you can automate the task

 Projects in UiPath Studio:
1. Process: Used to create blank project
2. Library: Used to create reusable components publish as a library irrespective of automation
workflow
3. Transactional Process: Used to model the automation workflow as a flowchart
4. Agent Process Improvement: Used to trigger an automation in response to an event i.e.
mouse click
5. Robotic Enterprise Framework: Used to create processes for large scale deployments
