Let's get Started

Introduction to UiPath:

Many businesses are embracing digital ways of operation because they see that the
future lies in fully automated routine operations. The two most significant
advantages of digitization are speed and accuracy. The correct tool and skilled labor,
on the other hand, are the two most significant problems of digitalization. As a result,
the industry sought a quick and dependable answer, which they found in the form of
the RPA tool UiPath.
UiPath is a Windows desktop automation tool that uses robotic process automation.
Daniel Dines and Marius Tirca, two Romanian entrepreneurs, created the tool in 2005.
It's used to automate tedious, time-consuming processes. It also removes the need
for human intervention. It is the most user-friendly RPA application, with drag-and-
drop functionality for all actions.

UiPath Interview Questions for Freshers

1. What do you mean by Robotic Process Automation (RPA)?
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is a technology that allows work to be automated
in the same way that a human would. Robotic process automation does not imply
that robots would completely replace humans; rather, it refers to computer so ware
that mimics human behaviors.

To put it another way, RPA is a so ware programme that imitates human activities
while interacting with a computer application and automating repetitive and rule-
based procedures. Back office activities, data entry, data validation, and other labor-
intensive jobs can all be automated with RPA. The method enables businesses to
automate their digital processes across multiple applications and systems without
having to change their existing IT architecture. RPA can be broken down in the
following way:-
Robotic: A set of codes that mimics human movements and acts like a robot.P
Process: It is the collection of steps that results in a meaningful activity.
Automation: It is a procedure that is carried out by so ware robots without the
involvement of humans.

 UiPath Interview Questions

2. Why is UiPath the most preferred RPA tool in industry?

UiPath is a business process automation tool created specifically for enterprise
computing. According to industry standards, a wide range of distinctive features and
functionalities are available. The following are some features that set UiPath apart
from other RPA tools:
The Entire Package: With the help of three components, UiPath Studio, UiPath
Orchestrator, and UiPath Robots, UiPath provides a full solution.
Intuitive: Because it combines drag and drop and flowchart activities, working
with UiPath and developing robots is fairly intuitive. It's also incredibly simple to
learn.
A large number of activities are available in the library: UiPath has a large
activity library that includes hundreds of pre-built drag-and-drop activities.
Security: Because we can store and encrypt credentials on a centralized server,
UiPath provides a high level of security.
Recording: UiPath also has the capability of recording. It contains dedicated
recorders for desktop apps, Citrix environments, and terminal emulators,
allowing for considerably faster and more exact automation creation.
Universal Search: It has a universal search capability that allows us to search
across all automation resources such as libraries, activities, projects, and
workflows in a single search.
Debugging Techniques: UiPath provides users with a robust debugging tool that
is both intuitive and adaptable.
Collaboration: Because we can save, secure, and exchange scripts in MS Team
Foundation and SVN, UiPath encourages collaboration. The workflow can also
be reused.
Integration with third parties: UiPath also offers third-party integration
services. At the API level, we may integrate numerous cognitive and OCR
technologies from ABBYY, IBM Watson, Google, and Microso text analysis.
Licensing on the Server: Uipath supports server-based licensing, which
centralizes and simplifies the licensing procedure.

3. What are the components of UiPath?

The three primary components of UiPath are as follows:

Page 7 © Copyright by Interviewbit

 UiPath Interview Questions

UiPath Studio: It is a graphical user interface (GUI) dashboard for automating

workflows. It comes with a variety of tools and settings, making it a one-stop-
shop for workflow creation. Each process indicates a certain task to be
completed.
UiPath Robots (also known as bots): They are the most basic component of
the UiPath tool. They're primarily used to run automation processes written in
UiPath Studio. These robots can also be used to begin the execution of tasks
automatically in response to any specified activity on the system.
UiPath Orchestrator: It is a web-based tool for deploying, scheduling,
monitoring, and managing UiPath robots in the environment. It's the centralized
platform for managing and controlling so ware robots. It serves as a link
between UiPath Studio and UiPath robots.

4. Explain the different types of workflows present in UiPath.

The workflow types in UiPath are as follows:
Sequences: A sequence is a tiny project that works best with linear processes. It
makes it simple for developers to go from one activity to another. It can be used
as many times as necessary.
State Machine: A state machine is a machine that uses a specific amount of
states to automate the execution time. By activating a specific action, it can be
shi ed from one state to another.
Flowchart: A flowchart is a graphical depiction of several automated
operations. It's useful for integrating the activities in huge projects and
developing complex business tasks. Flowcharts can also aid in the display of
many logical operator branching.
Global Exception Handler: The Exception Handler is intended for use in both
small and large automation projects, with the goal of discovering execution
problems and, more significantly, deciding the workflow action when they occur.
If an execution error occurs while debugging, the Global Exception Handler can
be configured to intervene and check the workflow's behavior using the options
previously provided in the Exception Handler.

5. Where are the major applications of UiPath?

Page 8 © Copyright by Interviewbit

 UiPath Interview Questions

The following are a few of UiPath's most common uses:

Financial Reporting
Extraction of data
Obtaining Market Information
Keeping track of the customer dashboard Processing of Data Orders
Data Capture and Manipulation for Invoice Generation
Data Entry and Email Exchange
Getting Data from a Variety of Sources
Using the System to Automate Daily Routine Tasks

6. Is Robotic Process Automation the same as Artificial

Intelligence?
No, Robotic Process Automation is not the same as Artificial Intelligence. While
Robotic Process Automation is meant to assist workers by automating repetitive
tasks (attended automation), Artificial Intelligence is considered a technology that
can replace human labor and automate end-to-end operations (unattended
automation). AI uses unstructured inputs and develops its own reasoning, whereas
RPA uses organized inputs and logic. A fully autonomous process can be created by
combining RPA and artificial intelligence.

Page 9 © Copyright by Interviewbit

 UiPath Interview Questions

Many processes require both RPA and AI to fully automate a process from beginning
to end or to improve a robotic process once it has been deployed because companies
have both structured data (e.g., form fields) and unstructured data (e.g., free text,
natural voice). RPA and AI work together to push automation into new domains,
enabling users to automate more and more complicated activities.

7. What do you mean by an attended bot?

Attended bots are bots that work on the same computer as a human user and are
typically activated by the user's actions (user events). On these types of Robots, you
can't start processes from Orchestrator, and they can't run under a locked screen.
They can only be launched from the Robot tray.

8. What do you mean by an unattended bot?

Bots that run unattended in virtual environments and can automate a variety of
operations are known as unattended bots. This Robot is responsible for remote
execution, monitoring, scheduling, and providing assistance for work queues, in
addition to the features of the Attended Robot.

9. Differentiate between Attended RPA and Unattended RPA.

10. What is UiPath Explorer?

The powerful tool UI Explorer allows users to construct a custom selector for a single
UI element. It's a standalone utility that users can get from your Automation Cloud
instance's Resource Center, or through Studio if you're using UiPath. The
UIAutomation.The activities package is added to the project as a dependency.

You don't need to install Studio to use UI Explorer as a standalone application. This is
useful when you want to ensure that a program can be automated using selectors. It
allows you to quickly inspect items without having to create a process.
The SetupExtensions utility is included in the standalone package, allowing users to
install browser extensions and the JavaBridge to examine items across all of the
automation needs.

11. What do you mean by arguments in the context of UiPath?

The arguments in UiPath are primarily used when data must be passed from one
workflow to another. They are in charge of transferring data between projects. These
arguments must follow a particular direction. For instance, in, out.

Page 13 © Copyright by Interviewbit

 UiPath Interview Questions

12. What do you mean by generic variable in UiPath?

The generic variable in UiPath is a sort of variable that can handle a wide range of
data types. Arrays, ints, strings, and date formats, for example.

13. What do you mean by session variables in the context of

UiPath?
Session variables in UiPath are defined as variables that are unique to a single
instance of a process. If many instances of the corresponding process run at the same
time, all of the session variables will be the same. The values for those session
variables, on the other hand, will be different.

14. What are the different properties in UiPath?

UiPath provides a number of activities that aid in the automation of desktop and
web-based applications. In the activity panel under UI automation, properties
describe such activities that are utilized for automating apps. ContinueOnError, Delay
Before, Delay A er, TimeoutMS, Target, and WaitForReady are the core attributes of
any project.

Page 14 © Copyright by Interviewbit

 UiPath Interview Questions

ContinueOnError: This is utilized when we want our automation to keep

running even if there is an issue in the activity. The default value is 'False'. When
an activity inside the 'try catch' is set to 'True,' the project will not show any
errors.
Delay Before: This command is used to pause the automation before doing a
specified task.
Delay A er: This command is used to suspend the automation a er completing
a certain task.
TimeoutMS: It's used to locate an element before an error message appears.
Target: Prior to the start of an activity, the target is used to identify the element.

15. What do you mean by Branching in UiPath?

Page 15 © Copyright by Interviewbit

 UiPath Interview Questions

In UiPath, branching is referred to as the 'condition.' When there is an activity with

numerous solutions a er a given condition, the branching condition is utilized. This
branching allows the so ware to determine what behavior should be presented in
the event that a specific condition is selected.
Switch Activity can be used to implement branching. The integer argument is used by
default in the Switch activity, but you may alter it in the Properties panel's
TypeArgument list. The Switch activity can be used to sort data into groups based on
a specified number of cases.

16. What is the importance of flowchart activities in UiPath?

In UiPath, the flowchart activities allow us to manage the basic settings for any task.
These tasks can be used for practically any form of the automation project,
regardless of its duration or complexity. Flowcharts are also utilized in the
automation of complicated corporate projects to separate and develop logical
procedures. During the automation process, flowchart activities can be used to
integrate necessary actions or functionalities into flowcharts.

17. Explain the life cycle of RPA.

Page 16 © Copyright by Interviewbit

 UiPath Interview Questions

The RPA Lifecycle encompasses several stages of the automation process, from bot
creation to bot execution.

The following is a list of them:

Page 17 © Copyright by Interviewbit

 UiPath Interview Questions

Discovery: The discovery phase of the RPA lifecycle is the first step. The RPA
process architect evaluates the client's needs in this phase. Then it's decided
whether or not the procedure can be automated. If the process can be
automated, the RPA analyst team may consult with the RPA architect team to
assess the process's complexity.
Solution Design: The steps to automate the process are defined based on the
requirements. In conjunction with the process architect, the RPA technical
architect creates a Process Definition Document (PDD) that contains information
about the entire process. They adhere to the development methodology and
devise a plan to automate certain tasks in order to eliminate manual labor as
much as possible.
A er all of the requirements have been met, the next stage is to decide on a
budget, the number of people who will work on the project, the amount of time
that will be spent on it, and so on. The analyst team then constructs a flowchart
to visualize the flow of operations, which aids in the selection of the appropriate
processes for automation. The RPA tool is used to begin the development of
bots and automate tasks a er the procedures have been chosen.
Development: The RPA developer builds scripts/bots to automate tasks using
RPA tools at this phase. There are a variety of RPA tools on the market. Following
the previously created PDD, automation scripts/bots are generated. There is no
demand for coding in most cases. However, depending on the duties to be
automated, this may alter.
User Acceptance Tests: The RPA development team puts the bots they've
created to the test in this phase. These bots are put through their paces in a test
setting to see how they can help users automate specific chores. If the testing
phase is completed successfully, the process moves on to the next level.
Furthermore, if the testing fails, it is returned to the development phase, where
RPA developers evaluate and correct any issues discovered during the testing
phase.
Deployment and Maintenance: Only when the development and testing phases
have been finished are the bots deployed into the production environment.
Users can utilize them to automate their tasks when the deployment procedure
is completed. If a problem with the bots persists, such as bots that do not
automate, they are forwarded to the RPA development and testing team. The
bots will be analyzed again by the development team, and the issues will be
resolved.
Bots Execution: A er the bots have been deployed, this phase includes the bots'

18. What do you mean by Flow Switch in the context of UiPath?

A FlowSwitch activity is similar to a FlowDecision, but it is not limited to a True or
False branch. A FlowStep is a name for each branch of a FlowSwitch activity.
When more than two alternative branches are required, the FlowSwitch activity is a
conditional node that provides branching for the flow of control depending on a
match condition. We use the FlowDecision activity instead if the flow branching only
requires two pathways.
When the Expression in the FlowSwitch<System.int32> activity is evaluated, it returns
a value of type Int32. The activity additionally includes a set of Cases that define a
unique mapping between the evaluation's possible outcomes to a set of FlowNode
objects. The FlowNode that is executed is the one whose int32 object matches the
evaluated Expression's value. For the case where no match is found, a default case
might be specified (optionally).

19. Explain switch activity in the context of UiPath.

In UiPath, the switch activity is used to transition from one value to another based on
the expression's defined values. As a default, it uses the switch integer argument.
However, by navigating to the properties tab and selecting the needed Type of
Argument, we can easily change it (TypeArgument). The activity is most useful when
it comes to categorizing data by case number. This activity can be used to save data
into different spreadsheets or to sort through a list of user names, for example.

20. Does UiPath support automatic recording?

Yes, UiPath allows us to automatically record the actions and activities we execute on
the system. We can quickly personalize the project using the automatic recording
tool, which provides a number of possibilities. It creates a skeleton of the entire
procedure that has been completed. Instead of manually automating the entire
project, we can quickly parameterize and personalize the process, which saves a lot
of time.

21. Differentiate between RPA and Test Automation.
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is a so ware robot that can do tasks similar to
those performed by humans. These so ware robots are designed and deployed using
RPA techniques. These tools use pre-defined activities and business rules to execute a
set of tasks, transactions, and processes across multiple so ware platforms
autonomously. RPA can achieve the required outcome without the need for human
intervention.

Page 20 © Copyright by Interviewbit

 UiPath Interview Questions

Test Automation is a so ware testing process that employs specialized tools to

manage the execution of tests. It also compares the actual results to the ones
expected. Test automation is carried out automatically, with little or no involvement
from the test engineer. It's a key stage in the development process for adding more
testing that's tough to do manually.

22. Explain UiPath Architecture.

The UiPath architecture is made up of three layers, including:

Client Layer: This layer comprises UiPath components that users can interact with.
UiPath Studio, UiPath Agent, Robots, Browsers, and Executors are some of the
examples. These components can be used to build and develop automation tasks.
UiPath bots then carry out the tasks that have been created. The layer is sometimes
referred to as the presentation layer.
Server Layer: This layer displays all of the server-related information. The UiPath
Orchestrator is located on this tier. The full project is published to the server once the
UiPath bots have been constructed and can execute tasks without issues. The project
can be easily executed on several platforms thanks to an Orchestrator. The
Orchestrator is in charge of the entire project and assists us in meeting service levels
and schedules.

Page 23 © Copyright by Interviewbit

 UiPath Interview Questions

Persistence Layer: Database servers make up the majority of the persistency layer.
The layer is used to hold UiPath bot configuration information. It also organizes and
regulates queues, as well as the tasks currently in them.
Data from different users, logging information, associated robots, assigned tasks,
asset details, and so on are all included in the configuration details. Users o en enter

25. Explain the different types of recording available in UiPath.

The following recording options are available in UiPath:

Basic: Basic recording is primarily utilized for single activities because it

generates a full selection for each one.
Desktop: Desktop recording is mostly utilized for all types of desktop
programmes because it generates container activities and partial selections for
each contained activity.
Web: This option is usually used in web programmes and browsers to record.
This is due to the fact that it generates container activities by default, which use
the Simulate Type/Click input technique.
Image: This recording option is ideally suited for virtualized systems like Citrix,
SAP, VNC, and virtual machines (VMs). It is, however, limited to text, keyboard,
and image automation only.
Native Citrix: It is meant for Citrix-virtualized desktops and apps.
Computer Vision: It may be used to automate the design of computer vision-
based workflows.

Page 27 © Copyright by Interviewbit

 UiPath Interview Questions

26. What do you mean by “assign activity” in the context of

UiPath?
In UiPath, the assign activity is mostly used to assign values to variables. When we
wish to alter the value of a variable, we usually use this action. This activity also
comes in handy when we need to add a loop to our project. For instance, in the loop,
incrementing the value of a variable. By default, the activity is included in the
Favorites group. Using the 'Right-click' and then 'Remove' options, we can easily
remove it.
We have two alternatives when it comes to assigning activities:
We can store values in the existing variable a er adding the value.
We can store values in any other array a er adding the value.

27. What is the difference between chatbot and robotic process

automation?
The distinction between a chatbot and an RPA engine is comparable to that between
a mouse and a mammoth.

Page 28 © Copyright by Interviewbit

 UiPath Interview Questions

ChatBot - A bot that is programmed to converse with a user (human) in a human-like

manner. Make a request and advise backend systems to offer a request, or
recommend a pre-learned remedy to a specific problem the user is experiencing.
RPA (Robotic Process Automation) - It is a bot that is programmed to automate a
manual business process such as performing a job or activity inside a business
function. HR, Finance, and Procurement are examples of business functions. A
chatbot can be used to supply data into an RPA engine, but it cannot replace the RPA
engine's functions.

28. Differentiate between Traditional Automation and Robotic

Process Automation.
Following are the differences between Traditional Automation and Robotic Process
Automation:

Page 29 © Copyright by Interviewbit

 UiPath Interview Questions

Traditional IT automation takes a long time and involves a lot of labour, time,
effort, and money.
RPA is a quick fix for generating improvements right away.
Traditional automation and RPA both require sound strategy and preparation,
but RPA is easier to implement.
While both strive for the same goal of automation, RPA is more efficient, better,
and less expensive than classical automation. As a result, traditional automation
is a strategic decision, while RPA is a tactical decision.
In short, if you have the luxury of time and money, classical automation is the
way to go. If you're pressed for time or money in your business, RPA is the way to
go.

29. What do you mean by thin and thick clients? Differentiate

between them.
Thin clients: A thin client is a computer system that operates on a server. They
operate by connecting to a distant server-based environment, which stores the
majority of apps and data. The majority of the tasks, such as computations and
calculations, are handled by the server. When it comes to security threats, they are
more secure than thick client systems. Because there are centralised servers in thin
clients, system management is considerably easier. With the help of centralization,
hardware may be optimised, and so ware maintenance is significantly easy.
Thick clients: A thick client is a system that can connect to the server even if it is not
connected to the internet. Clients who are overweight are referred to as "heavy" or
"fat." Thick clients aren't reliant on the server's apps. They have their own so ware
programmes and operating system. They have a lot of flexibility as well as a lot of
server capacity. Thick clients are more vulnerable to security risks than thin clients.

30. Can we run multiple instances of the same process with one
robot in one system simultaneously in UiPath?
Yes, it can run the same process in two robots at the same time if each system is
registered as a separate robot. On a machine running the Windows Server operating
system:
All Robots can perform the same process at the same time;
All Robots can perform the different processes at the same time;

31. What do you mean by Exception Handling and what are the
main options in Exception Handling in UiPath?
The practice of dealing with or addressing problems observed in various UiPath tasks
is known as exception handling.

The following are the main options for managing exceptions:

Terminate Workflow: It is used when a job finds an issue and we want to stop
the entire workflow from running.
Throw: When we wish to throw an error before performing any action, we use
this method.
Try Catch: It is mostly used to deal with exceptions. The try block contains a list
of activities that may fail during execution. Furthermore, the tasks to be
performed once an exception occurs are contained within the catch block.

32. When should one choose System Integration over RPA?

If the return on investment (ROI) is better than installing RPA, one should favor
system integration. However, that circumstance will appear in only a few projects.

If one works in a local area and uses similar platforms/so ware, they should consider
integrating your systems. System integration will almost certainly necessitate full
access to the back-end scripts, and the deployment duration will almost certainly be
longer than RPA. If one works in back-office operations, one may notice that different
platforms, such as legacy, GUI, and web-based, are all utilized in tandem. System
integration becomes more complicated as a result of this.
RPA so ware, on the other hand, is platform agnostic. They might also be configured
from the front end on any platform. RPA developers are easier to train or find, and
the schedule is shorter. As a result, using RPA is a better option.

33. What do you mean by tracing and how do you enable it in

UiPath?
UiPath creates log files by default, which track Studio and Robot activities. The Open
Logs button on the Execute ribbon tab can be used to access these logs.
More information on automation is required for difficult issues. Tracing must be
enabled in order to collect them.
Tracing in UiPath Studio produces an .etl file. It is used to log high-frequency events
when tracking the performance of an operating system and contains binary log data
at the trace level, such as disk accesses or page faults.

34. What do you mean by Selectors and Wildcards in UiPath?

Wildcards are symbols that, similar to SQL, allow you to substitute 0/more characters
in a string. They're usually employed when a selector's attributes are changing
dynamically.

The following are used as wildcards:

Asterisk (*) - can be used to replace one or more characters.
Question Mark (?) - A single character is replaced by a question mark (?).
In the form of an XML fragment, selectors are used to store the characteristics of a
GUI element and its parents.

35. Differentiate between Mainframe and Non-Mainframe

Applications.
Mainframe Applications:
It's a single-screen application with a keyboard interface.
Blue Prism has a different set of in-built commands dedicated to mainframe
applications.
Non-Mainframe Applications:
It includes more than one screen.
Control is passed from one screen to the next.

36. Differentiate between UiPath and Selenium.

 UiPath Interview Questions

Selenium is built primarily for testing web applications and web pages; it is
impossible to interact with numerous applications in selenium and use one
application's result as an input for another. It is completely incompatible with virtual
environments such as Citrix and others. While UiPath is an RPA solution that can be
used to automate any existing so ware process and replace any activity that can be
done by a human.

As a result, we can argue that RPA is the next step in the evolution of existing
automation systems. It enables anyone with little or no so ware programming
experience to create a complicated rules-based procedure. You can use UiPath to
perform whatever that Selenium can do, but vice versa is not possible.

37. How should a RPA developer address runtime exceptions in

the workflows?
RPA developers should use one of the following methods to address runtime
exceptions in the workflows:
By keeping track of any exceptions that occur.
Inside the Catch blocks, employing automatic recovery sequences.
When executing external workflow files, try/catch blocks are used.

38. What do you mean by Citrix Automation?

Citrix Technology is used to automate virtual computers. Consider a situation in

which you need to connect to a server from your PC. When you try to access thserver
now, you don't receive the main server; instead, you get a picture of the server's
screen. Now, anytime you click on something, the corresponding image or pixel is
delivered to the server. Then it is precisely clicked over there in the server. Citrix
technology and UiPath can be used to automate these kinds of processes. With the
use of recorders, UiPath attempts to deliver this automation.

39. What do you mean by process, job, asset and queue in the
context of UiPath?
Processes- The Processes page allows users to create new processes, manage current
processes, and build new processes from uploaded packages, as well as maintain all
of your processes up to date with the latest package versions.
Queues are a form of storage container that may hold an infinite number of objects.
Queue objects can be used to store a variety of data, such as invoices or client
information. Other systems, such as SAP or Salesforce, are used to process this data.

Jobs- A job is a description of how a procedure is carried out on an UiPath Robot. It

has the ability to start a job in either attended or unattended mode.
Assets are variables or credentials that are regularly shared and can be used in
various automation programmes. They let users store one-of-a-kind information that
robots can access fast.

Excel Automation: For sorting, removing, retrieving, and analyzing data, UiPath
is a useful tool. Data migration and integration into platforms are
straightforward. StudioX has a strong Microso Excel interface and comes with
various activities that automate Excel chores.
File Automation: It refers to the automation of file and folder-related actions on
your computer, such as creating, renaming, and copying files and folders.
StudioX comes with a number of activities that help you automate actions
involving files and folders.
CSV Automation: It is used to attach data to CSV files or to get data from them.
Add the CSV actions to the Use Excel File activity, which defines the Excel file that
will be used to transport data from CSV to Excel.
Mail Automation: Task automation is possible with emails from Outlook
desktop, Gmail, and Outlook 365. By using Outlook 365, Gmail, or the "Use
Desktop Outlook App" action, users can create activities that use data from the
account inside the resource activity.
Word Automation: The most typical tasks in Word documents may be
automated using Word automation.
PowerPoint Automation: This allows the user to automate some of the most
popular PowerPoint actions. Add a ‘Use PowerPoint Presentation' action to
the presentation, and then add the Presentation activities to automate inside
Use PowerPoint Presentation.

RPA is a fantastic career choice since more and more firms are turning to automation
to save money, and they can't find enough employees with good RPA abilities to fill
their positions. As a result, RPA salaries have risen faster than those in other IT
disciplines.

42. Is RPA really worth learning?

Yes, RPA is worth learning. First of all, RPA can replace 5 to 10 human workers,
resulting in a higher return on investment. Secondly, RPA automates dull and
repetitive operations, freeing up human workers to focus on more productive and
revenue-generating duties. Thirdly, RPA is more accurate and has a better throughput
than human workers.
