Abstract

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is a technology that has grown tremendously in the last years, due to its usability in the area of process automation. An essential part of any software development process is quality assurance, so testing will be very important for RPA processes. However, the classical software techniques are not always suitable for the RPA software robots due to the mix of the graphical description of the robots and their implementations. In this short paper, we describe the state of the practice for testing of software robots and propose some ideas of test automation using model-based testing.
