RPA to free your QA team from repetitive tasks

Bots that run validations, generate reports, and trigger deployments. When RPA adds value to a QA team and when it becomes unnecessary overhead.

RPA is not the same as test automation

  • Test automation runs functional tests against an app
  • RPA automates administrative processes: loading data into a system, generating a report, sending an email when a test fails

They are complementary, not substitutes.

3 QA tasks where RPA pays off

  1. Daily test suite reports (RPA puts together the summary and posts it to Slack)
  2. Loading bugs into the tracker from a CSV exported by the testing tool
  3. Automatic deployment trigger to staging when green tests pass a threshold

When NOT to use RPA

  • Processes that change every month (maintaining the bot costs more than the savings)
  • Tasks already integrated via API (better use the API directly)
  • Very low volume (less than 10 runs per month)

Next steps

If your QA team spends more than 30% of its time on repetitive tasks, there is room to automate with RPA. Book a demo.
