Watch: Applying RPA to Software Testing


Robotic Process Automation’s (RPA) versatility allows it to be applied to a wide range of processes, enabling organizations to increase productivity, reduce costs, and improve accuracy by automating repetitive tasks using software “Bots”. Use cases range from data entry and report generation to HR and finance and admin automation.


In this technical session, we give you an overview of RPA, and dive into the ability of RPA to create a modern, data-driven automated testing environment that can be plugged into your CI/CD pipeline.


This webinar is relevant to you whether you use CA Plex, CA 2E, or other software development tools.
