Webinar


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 will 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.


All attendees will receive a $10 gift card towards lunch or a snack to enjoy.

Whether you're a coder, copywriter, artist, or audiobook voice actor, it's probably a good time to look into the current hype cycle and determine what's real and what isn't.


A thorough article covering the basics is a good place to start.
