Improved Method of Software Automation Testing Based on the Robotic Process Automation Technology

Nowadays the automation of repetitive and time consuming tasks for employees is becoming more and more popular. Automation of software testing has lots of benefits but it also has limited functions and strictly rely on the system under the test (SUT). One of the technologies that may be used to leverage its disadvantages is Robotic Process Automation (RPA). RPA is an approach to business workflow automation, in which the program emulates user actions within graphical user interface to achieve the desired result. In this paper the basic approaches for automation of software testing using RPA are investigated. This paper describes the proposed method for software test automation which allows to execute tests in a faster and more reliable way.
