Editor's Notes
- #3 The critical role of Support in your UiPath Program – is it the same for every company? How to build the right Operating Model - Planning Long Term How to structure processes and procedures to ensure issues are addressed timely and effectively within the SLAs The role of automation within your support function – Reactive vs Proactive Maintenance Using Test Suite to proactively identify issues caused by application changes Automation of Issue Management – The role of a strong framework Automated performance management structure – What is not measure does not exist The Automation Talent Gap Building capabilities internally vs. leveraging a partner Best practices for attracting, training, and retaining top talent
- #4 RPA Continues to be the fastest growing software segment Not taking maintenance needs into account is one of the most common reasons for failure Maintenance of robots is one of the most disliked tasks performed by Developers

- #8 Talent for specialization. No one can be an expect on all on these technologies
- #10 15
- #15 (Why Test Suite is different) Share and reuse – Chipotle achieves 70% reuse between testing and RPA Automate any technology – Test Suite is a one stop shop for all your testing needs, many customers have replaced their bucket of tools with Test Suite Production-grade – we are the only testing vendor who comes from production – Vericode certified and approved by the Defense Information Systems Agency We have built Test Suite to integrate seamlessly into your DevOps toolchain We are the only vendor that is surrounding every tester with RPA and AI power tools – chatbots, test data generator, auto-generation of test cases, process mining, task mining and change impact mining We have a community of over 1.5M users and our marketplace has hundreds of pre-built automations and connectors to accelerate automation of test cases
- #16 For the Attendees who are UiPath customers or are evaluating UiPath.

- #18 We believe automation should be approached as an Enterprise initiative. Test Suite works for either Test Automation or for RPA testing stand alone and produces great results. But Test Suite is much more powerful when used by both teams in a coordinated and collaborative fashion. Business process alignment is one benefit, but reuse, reduce production risk and accelerated transformation are downstream benefits.
- #19 Now what is the UiPath Test Suite, what components and products does it contain? Here we have a high-level view on its architecutre. On the right hand side we have 3 components that you might already be familiar with – We have StudioPro, this is our most advanced designer for automated Test Cases and for RPA. Then we have Orchestrator – our control tower monitoring all robots and distributing work among them. And we have our Robots, those components are actually doing the work, executing our automated Test Cases and RPAs. While those 3 parts already make up a pretty good automation platform, there is one piece missing to become a first class Testing solution, which is Test Management. Here we introduced a new product, called Test Manager, consisting of an api interface called Hub, that allows you to integrate with all common ALM tools such as Jira, or SAP Soman or AzureDevops and the TM App, a web front end that lets you define requirements, connect them to automated Test Cases and analyze execution results.
- #20 People: UiPath Platform provides a universal automation platform for use in Development/Testing, IT and the business. Gone are the days of supporting, managing and developing automations using multiple tools and scripting languages. With UiPath everyone can become an automator with our easy to learn low-code IDE. We also offer StudioX for Citizen Development. Approach: We connect Automation Ops to DevOps through Orchestrator’s integrations with CI/CD tooling and centralized governance of all automations, whether they are citizen developers, RPA developers, Testers or IT Administrators. Technology: We provide specific capabilities and tools to make every user successful, from RPA test coverage metrics for the RPA COE in the Business, IT automation to enable testers and system admins to automate environment management and comprehensive functional testing capabilities to support web, mobile, API and packaged app testing. All in one platform.
