RPA Vs Traditional Automation Tools

Question

I am a Test Automation engineer and recently got the opportunity to explore RPA tool blue prism. After exploring I found it similar to UI automation tools supporting various technologies. Can anyone tell me what value RPA adds compare to traditional tools? I was interested to see how it can use 'intelligence' but couldn't find any feature.

Can an expert in this forum help me understand what RPA can do which traditional tool can not do?

Answer 1

RPA and testing products differ in their user experience and reporting. While testing tools often offer features to assess risk or create testing data, whereas RPA focuses on automation, making repetitive tasks easier.
