UiPath-ADPv1 Cheat Sheet - Testing
Overview
UiPath's Testing Module, part of the UiPath Test Suite, provides comprehensive
tools and features to create, manage, and execute automated tests. It integrates
with various Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) tools and supports both low-
code and coded test automation.
Key Components
Studio: The Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for developing test
automation. It supports both low-code (visual interface with drag-and-drop
activities) and coded automations (VB or C#).
Orchestrator: Manages, schedules, and monitors automated tests.
Test Manager: A test management tool that integrates natively with Studio and
Orchestrator, facilitating test case management and execution.
Testing Robots: Execute the tests managed by Orchestrator and Test Manager.
Types of Testing
Application Testing: Involves creating test cases and data-driven test cases to
verify application workflows and cover various scenarios.
RPA Testing: Validates automated processes to ensure they function correctly. This
includes data-driven testing and integration with ALM tools.
API Test Automation: Integrates with Postman to perform and manage API tests.
Mobile Device Automation: Enables testing on mobile devices using emulators and
device farms.
Key Features
Test Case Creation
Creating Test Cases:
From existing workflows: Right-click on a workflow and select "Create Test Case."
Mock Testing: Create copies of workflows to mock dependencies and isolate test
scenarios (UiPath Docs) (UiPath Docs).
Data-Driven Testing
Use different data sets to run the same test with various inputs.
Supports files, auto-generated data, entities, and queues (UiPath Docs) (UiPath
Docs).
Test Sets
Creating Test Sets:
Organize related test cases into groups.
Assign test cases either statically (manual selection) or dynamically (based on
labels) (UiPath Docs).
AI-Powered Testing
Autopilot: AI capabilities to assist in evaluating requirements, generating test
cases, automating tests, and gaining insights into test failures (UiPath Docs).
Execution and Results
Test Execution: Tests can be executed from Studio or scheduled in Orchestrator.
Test Results: View results and analyze them in Test Manager, with features like
activity coverage and defect synchronization (UiPath Docs) (UiPath Docs).
Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) Integration
Supports integration with tools like Jenkins, Azure DevOps, and others to automate
the testing pipeline (UiPath Docs).
Best Practices
Modular Testing: Break down tests into smaller, reusable components.
Mock Dependencies: Use mock testing to isolate and test individual components.
Data-Driven Testing: Utilize different data sets to cover a wide range of
scenarios.
Regular Integration: Integrate tests into CI/CD pipelines for continuous
validation.
AI Insights: Leverage AI-powered insights to understand and resolve test failures
efficiently.
Conclusion
The UiPath Testing Module offers robust tools and integrations to ensure the
reliability and efficiency of automated processes. By leveraging features like mock
testing, data-driven testing, and AI-powered insights, you can enhance your testing
strategy and achieve comprehensive test coverage.
