Software testing ensures that a
software/application is free of bugs, glitches,
or any other errors so that it offers users a
great experience. The Future of software testing
in 2021 Many of the automation tools are
invented to make software testing more efficient
and better performance and bug free applications
in IT industry. In that one of the most popular
automation tool is Robotic Process Automation
(RPA) is one such technology that has automated
processes in diverse fields over the years. And,
with the benefits it offers, it is expected to
find more widespread adoption in the years to
come.

• What is Robotic Process Automation?
• Robotic Process Automation is essentially the use
  of robots to automate repetitive tasks. The bots
  in RPA are capable of emulating human activities
  to perform rule-based tasks.
• The demand for efficient methods that enhance
  productivity, shorten time to market, and are
  cost-effective have paved the way for RPA in most
  industries.
• The working of RPA Based System Steps Include
• RPA defines a series of steps for a process to be
  performed by a robot.
• The process is converted into the software with
  the help of codes.
• The robot executes these steps for a specific
  process.

Benefits that RPA Offers

• It automates repetitive tasks and business
  workflows with great accuracy.
• It is capable of working round the clock without
  any breaks.
• It saves time, efforts and money.
• It offers accessibility and visibility
  facilitating monitoring and review of log
  processes completed by RPA tools.
• It minimizes the need for resources for
  performing high-value tasks.
• Due to these benefits, Forresters prediction
  that the RPA market will total 2.9 billion in
  2021 comes as no surprise! (Source The
  Enterprisers Project)

Role of RPA in Software Testing

• The demand for new releases, product offerings,
  and service excellence requires pervasive process
  automation that minimizes errors and optimizes
  processes. These needs have paved the path for
  the implementation of RPA in end-to-end testing
  to minimize the turnaround time, enhance
  efficiency, and provide more accurate outcomes.
• The traditional QA process involved coders
  scripting testing tasks. This was a
  time-consuming process. RPA facilitates automated
  scripts that results in superior QA which is 70
  faster for tests and test-related activities.

• RPA offers an agile and automated QA and testing
  strategy that facilitates rapid releases without
  compromising on quality to meet the demands such
  as shorter time to market and high-velocity
  deployments.
• RPA deployments may include a heterogeneous mix
  of applications, components, and technologies
  that run on multiple operating systems.
  Therefore, open-source automation testing tools
  such as Selenium, Sikuli, AutoIt, Robot class,
  etc. can be lever-aged in end-to-end testing
  along with RPA to streamline and accelerate the
  testing process.
• The established RPA testing strategy goes through
  various stages. Firstly, the creation of test
  data followed by triggering the bot and finally
  validation of the business process.

Benefits of RPA in Software Testing

• RPA minimizes end-to-end testing by structuring
  and collaborating the APIs.
• It enables meeting the present customer demands
  for producing faster and better outputs.
• RPA in software testing minimizes errors and
  produces high-quality products with minimal
  efforts.
• Programming skills are not required by teams for
  RPA based testing.
• The codes created can be reused.
• It helps bring agility across functions and
  industries.
• Robotic Process Automation facilitates multiple
  application testing.
• Minimizes human errors encountered in continuous
  manual or automation testing.
• It resolves the issues in critical test
  automation.
• It supports a web-based, legacy, desktop, or
  mobile application since it is platform-independen
  t.
• It facilitates a scalable testing environment by
  allowing parallel execution by assigning a
  virtual wrkforce at any stage.

• The Bottomline
• Robotic Process Automation is gradually becoming
  an integral part of QA. It is shaping the future
  of software testing by offering cost-effective
  solutions. It minimizes human efforts by
  deploying resources intelligently.
