Robot-led #Test #Automation using UiPath Test Suite. Findings and Viewpoint of TestingXperts

 As a trusted UiPath partner with deep expertise in Quality Engineering and Test Automation, we at TestingXperts have been part of the evolution journey of RPA powered UiPath Test Suite. While the product is still finding its feet in the market, we worked on evaluating UiPath Test Suite for its capabilities as a Continuous Testing tool.

TestingXperts have developed an extensible end-to-end test automation framework using UiPath Test Suite which is DevOps ready and has integration with various third-party tools like JIRA, Jenkins, HTML reports, BrowserStack, etc.

The intent of the framework development is to make a robust, reusable, and fully compatible automation framework wherein new components and processes can be easily accommodated without impacting its existing components.

TestingXperts Test Automation Framework powered by UiPath

TestingXperts Test Automation Framework powered by UiPath uses the page object model design principle & contains the below components/integrations:

Tx-UiPath Framework

● GitHub [code repository]

● Continuous Integration (CI) [Jenkins & Azure Devops]

● Orchestrator [Manage robots]

● BrowserStack Integration [For iOS mobile Automation]

● Data Layer [Excel, JSON]

● Utilities [Wrapper XAML files to handle typical test automation issues]

● Reporting in the following formats:

» UiPath Insights [Reporting Dashboard]

» Standalone HTML reports

» Email Notifications

» Defect creation on JIRA

» UiPath Test Manager

While this framework is continuously being enhanced to include many more features and making it more scalable, maintainable and configurable, we conducted a Proof of Concept (PoC) to validate usability and extensibility of developed components and explored features available within UiPath Test Suite. In this PoC, we developed Robots to create complex automation test scenario for web, mobile, desktop and API that gets triggered through built-in CI Pipeline i.e. Jenkins..

We have listed down a few findings from the PoC, and these are based on our experience working with other test automation products that are commercially available as well highly used open-source tools like Selenium.

Overall, we find the UiPath platform easy to use and one that brings market-leading capabilities within areas like test creation, execution & reporting. Test creation is very intuitive, and it doesn’t require any special coding skills to build automated tests.

QA Automation: Benefits and Challenges 2025

Image
  In the ever-evolving world of software development, ensuring quality is paramount. Quality Assurance (QA) automation has emerged as a cornerstone for modern software testing, enabling teams to deliver high-quality products efficiently. By leveraging automated tools and scripts, QA automation minimizes manual effort, enhances accuracy, and accelerates the development lifecycle. However, it comes with its own set of challenges. In this article, we explore what QA automation entails, its benefits, and the challenges teams face when implementing it. What is QA Automation? QA automation refers to the use of software tools to execute pre-scripted tests on a software application before it is released into production. Unlike manual testing, where testers execute test cases manually, QA automation automates repetitive tasks, allowing for more extensive and frequent testing. This approach is particularly beneficial in continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) environmen...
