VIKRAM PAROLKAR: Hey, guys.
Vikram Parolkar from the Test Feed Specialist team here.
Whether you're familiar with UiPath RPA or brand new
to test automation, this is the perfect place
to learn about UiPath Test Suite.
In this introductory video, I will be walking you
through the components of UiPath Suite, what each of them do,
and the available deployment options.
With that, let's meet the suite.
UiPath Test Suite is a combination
of proven production grade automation
technology that has robust, reliable automation
capabilities.
So for those not familiar with UiPath RPA,
we start with UiPath studio.
This is the design IDE that sits on a developer's computer.
Over the last couple of years, UiPath
has focused on democratizing automation.
This allows a tester, even those without a developer background,
to take our out of the box drag and drop widgets
called activities, and group them easily into sequences
and flow charts to complete and automate test cases.
Once an automation has been created within UiPath studio,
it can then be deployed to UiPath orchestrator.
Orchestrator is a SQL server on the back end
with a browser-based UI layer that
allows automation admins to use role-based access
control to govern both users and robots with production grade
security.
In addition, orchestrator supports
distributed execution, meaning the agents of execution,
the robots themselves, which typically sit unattended
on a back office VM somewhere, can interact with each other
and not replicate the exact same work.
This allows multiple robots to work in parallel
and complete the execution of a test set a lot faster.
Now to add testing capabilities to our existing RPA
functionality, we introduced UiPath Test Manager.
Test Manager has the ability to support requirements
traceability, test planning, and manual testing.
All of this occurs within the Test Manager app, which, again,
is a browser-based UI layer.
And there's a test manager hub that
allows you to connect the automations built
within Studio to those test cases planned
within test manager.
In addition, UiPath test manager has integrations
with our low-code design and documentation tool, UiPath Test
Capture.
This allows organizations to engage
their non-technical resources and get them involved
in the test automation process.
Those testers will be able to use Test Capture to document
the process and export a skeleton studio
file for developers to continue building out automations.
UiPath Test Suite also has an open architecture,
allowing it to easily fit into a customer's existing third party
landscape.
So if you are already using a Test Management
tool such as ServiceNow, SAP Solution Manager, Redmine Azure
DevOps, Jira, X-ray, et cetera, you'll
be able to still continue using those tools
because we have a series of native integrations.
If you don't see one of your integrations on this list here,
UiPath Test Manager also has an API,
which allows you to build out your own integration extremely
easily.
For things like integration with open source
tools, mobile automation or API automation,
UiPath studio has a series of different tool integrations
at the developer level that allows you to complete
these objectives as well.
Finally, UiPath has powerful source control integrations
with tools like Git, TFS, and SVN,
as well as integrations with CI/CD tools such as Jenkins
or Azure DevOps.
In addition, UiPath orchestrator has a command line interface,
API, that allows you to effectively integrate
with any other CI/CD tool.
Now let's take a look at the different UiPath deployment
options.
The first and easiest deployment option
is UiPath Automation Cloud.
This is UiPath's cloud native platform
that delivers Test Suite as a SaaS offering.
No installations required.
You can start instantly and ultimately scale infinitely
with multiple tenants and multiple instances.
In addition, cloud gives you access
to all the different UiPath products, not just Test Suite.
The entire experience is integrated into a UiPath Portal
for a shared functionality, meaning that the test teams can
easily work alongside any other automation teams, sharing
resources.
In addition, Cloud comes with Integrated High Availability,
backup, and scale management.
Now for those organizations that want the same cloud experience
but want to control the infrastructure themselves,
you can deploy the entire UiPath Portal suite experience
as an on-premise automation suite.
This is delivered as a single installation
and installed on-premise or in public Cloud Linux VMs.
And for those organizations that don't have as much experience
with containerised solutions, we also
allow you to install the products on-premise
individually as well.
And that wraps up this introductory video.

Thanks, and see you next time.
