Summary

In this chapter, we learned about spying. Blue Prism uses Application Modeller to define the elements that the robot has to interact with. To be able to work with the various types of applications out there, Blue Prism offers several spy modes.

We tried out HTML mode and captured the search box and button. Later, we used UI Automation to spy the search results list. We also sampled region mode to have an idea of how to capture elements that can't be found using other means.

In the next chapter, we will look at how the elements that we have spied can be used in the business object diagram.
