Question: Explain the characteristics of RPA?

Answer:

• Code Free - RPA doesn’t require programming skills. Employees with any subject expertise can be trained to automate RPA tools instantly. The whole work revolves around RPA chart which provides a flowchart designer to graphically link, drag and drop icons to represent steps in a process.
• User-Friendly - RPA adoption originates within business operations rather inside IT departments. RPA projects require less IT skills and less investment. Eventually, the automation is lowered at a substantial rate.
• Non- Disruptive - RPA avoids complexity and risk. The software robots access to end users systems via a controlled user interface, hence reducing the necessity of underlying systems programming.

Question: What are the benefits of RPA?

Answer:

• Enterprise Scalability - RPA is highly flexible and scalable with reduced time of induction. Robots perform massive complex operations in parallel, starting from desktop to cloud environments. All this operation is carried out, by allowing multiple users to monitor and control robots from various business units through a single secure device.
• Powerful Analytics - Gathering agile and exhaustive data enable better management and insights into forever growing business enhancements. Improved governance is achieved through a prescribed set of automation tools.
• ROI - RPA will increase productivity across varied industries. One Software robot is efficient of accomplishing the work of approximately 3 employees. This innovation builds positive ROI much faster than expected. Moreover, cost productions might reach 20% in time.
• Cost-Saving - Implementing RPA within an enterprise has shown a drastic reduction in overall costs when compared to traditional non-RPA methods.

Question: Explain important Phases of RPA Life Cycle?

Answer:

• 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 - Have a dedicated testing team which performs a dedicated QA like normal SDLC flow.
• Deployment and Maintenance - After the Development and Testing phases, a bot is ready for distribution and enters maintenance phase.

Question: What are Limitations of Robotic Process Automation?

Answer:

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.

Question: What is the difference between Thin Client and Thick Client?

Answer:

1. Thin client is any application that we cannot get the attribute properties while spying using any RPA tools. For eg , Citrix or any virtual environment.
2. And thick client is any application that we get pretty handful of attribute properties using RPA tools eg calculator, Internet explorer
3. To gain in-depth knowledge and be on par with practical experience, then explore RPA Training Course.

Question: Is it possible to achieve 100% automation?

Answer: Yes, it is possible but generally extremely complex. Complete automation even has a lot of disadvantages too. Generally, it is not the primary target in any automation process and operations that aim the same is not considered in most of the projects based on automation.

Question: What are the points for Feasibility Analysis?

Answer:

1. Gather Resources
2. Examine the process and note down
3. Understand Logic
4. Check out for the elements that can prevent automation
5. Verify if any elements require further testing

Question: Some basics of Citrix Automation.

Answer:

1. AA Can install in two way for citrix - Inside Citrix and outside Citrix.
2. When AA is install inside the citrix then all the features of AA is available while if, AA is installed outside the citrix then few features are available like IR, Keystroke, OCR.
3. Before using the citrix Automation feature to access the applications remotely, ensure that you have:
• Citrix receiver configured on your machine.
• Your Citrix Credentials.
• Citrix license enabled product.
• port 1494 open for Automation.
4. Citrix Automation has two component:
• Session Manager - Help to connect to a new or an existing connection.
• Citrix Automation Viewer - provide intuitive interface. Allows to record various action as and when it is performed. Allows to edit the actions without existing viewer.
5. To automate the citrix, first login into the citrix environment and access the application.

Note - Citrix receiver must be pre-installed; if AA is already configured, you will have to re-install citrix receiver.
