Record and Play

The facility of recording user steps on a computer and playing them back has made Robotic Process Automation (RPA) highly successful. Without this feature, the adoption of the technology might have been very slow and it would have been seen as another automation/scripting tool.

In the previous chapter, we gained a basic understanding of Robotic process automation. In this chapter, we will see how to use the recorder as the first step of automation in our journey. Before that, let us understand the UiPath tool and learn how to install it (you can only use the recorder after installing it). We will cover:

The UiPath stack and components of the platform.
How to download and install UiPath components.
Understanding the Project Studio in detail. The Project Studio is the place where developers spend most of their time configuring the Robots.
The recorder, with two...

Description

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) enables automating business processes using software robots. Software robots interpret, trigger responses, and communicate with other systems just like humans do. Robotic processes and intelligent automation tools can help businesses improve the effectiveness of services faster and at a lower cost than current methods. This book is the perfect start to your automation journey, with a special focus on one of the most popular RPA tools: UiPath. Learning Robotic Process Automation takes you on a journey from understanding the basics of RPA to advanced implementation techniques. You will become familiar with the UiPath interface and learn about its workflow. Once you are familiar with the environment, we will get hands-on with automating applications such as Excel, SAP, Windows and web applications, screen and web scraping, working with user events, and we'll cover exceptions and debugging. By the end of the book, you'll not only be able to build your first software robot, but you'll also wire it up to perform various automation tasks with the help of best practices for robot deployment.
