1. What is RPA?
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is the use of software with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) capabilities to
handle high-volume, repetitive tasks that previously required humans to perform. Some of these tasks include:
 Addressing queries
 Making calculations
 Maintenance of records
 Performing transactions
2. What are the applications of RPA?
 Open mail and attachments
 Fill in forms and move files and folders.
 Follow if-then decision rules.
 Connect to system APIs
 Extract structured data from documents
 Make complex calculations
 Monitor manual processes and learn how to automate them
 Copy and paste
 Read and write to databases
 Scrape data from documents
 Login into web/enterprise applications
3. What are the advantages of RPA?
 Reduces costs - One of the important advantages of RPA is the quick reduction in costs. By automating tasks, an organization
can save up to 30 percent of their total costs because software robots cost less than a full-time employee.
  Reduces operational risks - Some companies prefer to outsource busy work to third party organizations, and this comes with
the risk of human errors and inefficiency. RPA offers a better solution—because the work stays in-house, there is less
operational risk.
 Quality and accuracy - Processes with a high risk of human error can be automated using RPA systems. These bots are
reliable, consistent, and can work tirelessly.
 Scalability - With the help of RPA, companies can make adjustments based on changing conditions and can easily scale up or
down operations as needed.
 Reduced workload - Automating tasks like report-making can significantly reduce the workload on employees, allowing them to
focus on other critical tasks.
 Improved customer satisfaction - Since accuracy is increased and operational risk is minimal, customers better quality content.
 Improved business results - Since employees are focusing on activities that add more value to the company, robotic process
automation enables businesses to achieve better overall results.
4. What are some industries that can benefit from RPA?
 Banking and finance
 Human resources
 Insurance agencies
 Marketing and sales
5. What are RPA tools?
Popular RPA tools help professionals configure tasks and build bots to automate them. These include:
 UiPath
 Blue Prism
 Automation Anywhere

6. Explain how RPA works
Robotic process automation includes four core stages:

1. Planning - In this stage, the processes to be automated are defined, which includes identifying test objects, finalizing the
implementation approach, and defining a clear roadmap for the RPA implementation.
2. Design and development - In this stage, you start developing the automation workflows according to the established plan.
3. Deployment and testing - This stage typically includes the execution of bots. Any unexpected outages will be handled during the
deployment. To ensure accurate functioning, testing these bots for bugs and errors is crucial.
4. Support and maintenance - Providing constant support helps to better identify and rectify errors.
7. What is the difference between traditional automation and RPA?
Traditional automation leverages application programming interfaces (APIs) and other tools to integrate different systems.
The developer must have a good understanding of the target system.
On the other hand, robotic process automation mimics the actions of a user at the user interface (UI) level. As long as the bot can
follow the steps, the developer doesn’t need to worry about the underlying complexities.
8. What are the three types of RPA?
1. Unattended/Autonomous RPA
Ideal for reducing work like completing data processing tasks in the background. They don’t require any human intervention.
These bots can be launched using:
 Specified intervals
 Bot-initiated
 Data input
2. Attended RPA
These bots live on the user’s machine and are triggered by the user. They can be launched:
 When embedded on an employee’s device
 Automatically based on predefined conditions
 Leveraging an RPA client tool
3. Hybrid RPA
This is a combination of attended and autonomous bots. These bots address front- and back-office tasks in the enterprise
9. What are front- and back-office bots?
 Front office bots – Bots whose deployment is in the user’s control and require human intervention. These bots work from the
same desktop as that of the user. They can only be triggered by local machines manually and cannot run remotely.
 Back office bots – These bots can run on locked machines from the orchestrator. The user may not be actively involved. These
bots can also be triggered remotely by servers.
10. What are some features of RPA?
 Rich analytical suite - RPA monitors and manages automated functions from a central console. This console can be accessed
from anywhere and offers basic metrics on robots, servers, workflows, and more.
 Simple creation of bots - RPA tools enables the quick creation of bots by capturing mouse clicks and keystrokes with built-in
screen recorder components.
 Scriptless automation - RPA tools are code-free and can automate any application in any department. Users with less
programming skills can create bots through an intuitive GUI.
 Security - RPA tools enable the configuration and customization of encryption capabilities to secure certain data types and
defend against the interruption of network communication.
 Hosting and deployment - RPA systems can automatically deploy bots in groups of hundreds. Hence, RPA bots can be installed
on desktops and deployed on servers to access data for repetitive tasks.
 Debugging - Some RPA tools need to stop running to rectify the errors while other tools allow dynamic interaction while
debugging. This is one of the most powerful features of RPA.

It’s a centralized robot management dashboard where you can easily deploy, secure, and manage your UiPath Robots at scale.

19. How is exception handling done in UiPath?

Exception handling is one of the error-handling methods in UiPath. The error-handling activity offers four options:
1. Rethrow - By using this activity, the robot throws an exception that was caught previously while executing the workflow. For this
activity, we don’t need to provide any specified message.
2. Terminate Workflow - This is a mechanism where you ask the robot to terminate activities. This activity is mostly used when
there is no data to process. To use it, you may need to provide the exception message so the bot can log in the error log file. It
can then be referred by the developer/business to get more details about the run.
3. Throw - A mechanism wherein if a bot fails to execute the mentioned activity, it throws an error with a specified error message to
help us understand where the bot failed.
 4. Try Catch - This activity has three parts. The Try block executes, and if there were any errors, they would be caught in the
“Catch” Section. After executing the Try block, the robot will execute the “Finally” block in any condition.
20. What are breakpoints in UiPath?
Breakpoints are used to intentionally pause the debugging process on an activity that may trigger execution issues.
You can place and modify a breakpoint on any activity as follows:
 From the context menu, right-click an activity and select Toggle Breakpoint
 By selecting the activity and clicking the Breakpoints button on the Debug tab
 By pressing F9 while the desired activity is selected

21. What is macro-recorder?

A macro-recorder enables you to record mouse and keyboard activities to generate automation scripts. The activities are arranged
based on the sequence of actions being performed on the screen. This sequence is saved in your workflow, which you can use later to
play back the recorded actions.
22. What are user events is UiPath? Mention a few.
User events in UiPath specify the actions performed when certain events occur.
 On Click Element - Monitors click events on a specified UI element. The mouse button (left, right, middle) is used for the click
action. By default, the left mouse button is selected
 On Keypress Element - Monitors keyboard events on a specified UI element. Special keys are also supported, and you can
select them from the activity drop-down list. This field supports only strings and string variables
 On Click Image - Monitors the image defined by the target UI element for mouse input
 Monitor Mouse - Monitors a specified mouse-key combination in a system-wide event

 Dashboard: It gives complete analytics and performance of Automation Anywhere bots
 License Management: Ensures that the licenses purchased for Automation Anywhere are configured in the Control Room
There are two types of Licenses in Automation Anywhere:
1. Dev License: Allows you to create, edit, and run a bot.
2. Run License: The user can only run the bot and cannot make any changes.
25. What is a bot runner?
The bot runner is the machine where you run the bot, and you could have multiple bots running in parallel. You only need the Run
License to run the bots. The bots report back the execution status (logs/pass/fail) back to the control room.
26. What are task bots, meta bots, and IQ bots?
 Task Bots - These bots automate a rule-based, repetitive task, in areas like document administration, HR, claims management,
IT services, and more.
  Meta Bots - These bots are the automation building blocks. They’re designed in such a way that with application updates or
changes you need to make minimal edits to the bot.
 IQ Bots - These are advanced tools. They can learn on their own and perform a task accordingly. IQ Bots offer automation using
highly advanced cognitive technology.
27. Is robotic automation similar to screen scraping or macros?
Screen scraping is done by applications to capture the screen. Depending on the information captured, you proceed towards
processing it.
Robotic process automation is much more capable and robust and can integrate with Windows applications, Java applications, or web
applications. RPA does incorporate screen scraping when dealing with automating mainframes, but that's just a part of it—it does not
govern RPA in any way.
28. What are thick and thin clients?
 Thick clients: The thick client is the application that requires certain attribute features using RPA tools (e.g., computer, calculator,
Internet Explorer)
 Thin clients: The thin client is the application that never acquires the specific properties while using RPA tools. It mainly involves
automating tasks done on a browser like opening the browse, navigating to a website, etc. t
29. How is a chatbot different from RPA?
A chatbot is a bot programmed to chat with a user like a human being, while robotic process automation is a bot programmed to
automate a manual business process of executing a task or an activity within a business function.
A chatbot can be used as a medium to feed input to the RPA bot, but it cannot replicate the features of an RPA system.
30. What is the Process Studio in RPA?
The Process Studio is an interface that enables you to develop the business workflow in order to automate it. It leverages control
loops, variables, business logic, and more, to be sequenced and tested in a visible business flow. It basically implements the software
robot’s logic.

 Planning: In this stage, organizations identify processes suitable for automation, assess the feasibility, and define the goals and
objectives of implementing RPA. They create a roadmap, prioritize processes, and allocate resources for RPA implementation.
 Development: During the development stage, automation solutions are designed and developed. RPA developers create
automation workflows using RPA tools or platforms, configure software robots (bots), and integrate with other systems if
needed. They follow predefined process maps and document the necessary inputs, outputs, and exception-
handling procedures.
  Testing: The testing stage involves validating the developed automation workflows. Testers simulate real-life scenarios, execute
the automation processes, and verify if the expected results are achieved. They identify and rectify any errors or issues,
ensuring the automation solution performs accurately and reliably.
 Deployment: Once the automation solution has undergone thorough testing, it is ready for deployment. Organizations install and
configure the necessary software and infrastructure in the production environment. They ensure proper integration with existing
systems and processes to facilitate the seamless execution of automation tasks.
 Maintenance: After deployment, the maintenance stage comes into play. Organizations monitor the performance of the
deployed automation solution, address any issues or exceptions that arise, and make necessary adjustments or enhancements.
Regular updates and maintenance activities ensure the automation solution continues to meet the evolving needs of the
organization.
