1.What is RPA?
Robotic Process Automation(RPA) is a type of software that is used to do automation of the fundamental tasks in software applications like how a human performs them. The software robot can be trained for a workflow/process with different steps and application. It could be, for example, taking received forms, sending a receipt message, checking the forms for completeness, documenting the form in a folder, and updating a spreadsheet with the form name, the date recorded, etc. RPA programming is intended to diminish the weight of monotonous, straightforward tasks/work on workers.
2. List the different types of tools in RPA.
•Blue Prism
•UiPath
•Automation Anywhere
•WorkFusion
•OpenSpan
3. How would you deploy UiPath?
•Install UiPath Studio on the system on which we want to automate processes
•To provision the machine, take the robot key from Orchestrator and enter it into the Robot Configuration board and, furthermore, the Configuration URL that can be found in the Admin section of Orchestrator
•Publish the procedure, except if we simply need to utilize our existing procedure
•Develop an Environment
•On that Environment, create a release of the process
•Start job
4. How do you invoke a UiPath workflow?
Workflows are small pieces of common automation that are reusable and applicable in multiple scenarios. They are used to automate similar processes. We can invoke a workflow using the ‘Invoke Workflow’ function in UiPath and save it as a template. We can also combine two workflows to make combined automation.
5. What is Citrix Automation?
Citrix automation is used to automate processes such as filling fields in a form and submitting the form in a virtual desktop application. We can also use it for processes such as data entry, etc.
6. What are RPA Bots and how to create them?
Bot creator tools, such as Automation Anywhere or UiPath, are used to create bots that are used to automate processes or tasks. The following steps are involved in the creating a bot:
•Record a task
•Complete the bot implementation
•Test the bot
•Upload the bot to perform the automation tasks
7. List the industrial applications of RPA.

13. List the limitations of RPA.
•Limitations to tasks like decision-making or judgmental tasks
•Not a cognitive computing solution, rather learns through experience
•Might be error-prone when subjected to new environments without experience
•Higher cost of implementation across the industry.
14. Explain Flow Switch in UiPath.
Flow switch (aka flow decision) is a flowchart-specific activity that splits the control flow into two or more branches based on some conditions. Whichever condition is satisfied, that task is executed.
15. What are the various types of Recording available in UiPath?
There are various types of Recording available in UiPath such as Basic recording, Desktop recording, Web recording, and Citrix recording.
16. What are the important aspects to be considered in the planning phase of automation?
•Selecting the right RPA tool

•Selecting various items, such as in scope and out scope, based on the task
•Testing the environment
•Identification of deliverables
17. If the organization’s infrastructure is not aligned with RPA, then what needs to be done?
RPA does not have compatibility issues; it can simply be enabled in the organization’s existing infrastructure. Moreover, it can be modified and is flexible enough to make it aligned easily with the organization’s infrastructure if needed.
18. How do you use Assign Activity and Delay Activity in UiPath?
•Assign activity: It is generally used to assign a value or output to a variable. It can be used inside loops, arrays, etc.
•Delay activity: It is used to delay or pause the automation for a particular duration.
19. When do we use UI automation? What are the three types of automation?
When the robots and applications run on the same machine, we can use UI automation. It can integrate directly with the technology behind the application to trigger events, identify elements, and get the data. There are three types:
•Desktop automation
•Image automation
•Background automation
20. Explain how to Create and Remove an argument in UiPath.
To create an argument:
•In the Designer panel, click on ‘Arguments’ (the Argument panel will be displayed)
•Click on the Create argument line.
To remove an argument: In the Arguments panel, select an argument or right-click on the argument and press ‘Delete’
21. What, according to you, are the major problems that a business can face in the present time?
Businesses are becoming more and more challenging at the present time. This is mainly because there are a lot of problems and issues they need to deal with to overcome the gap between the clients and the products. The main issue is finding the target audience. Marketing advertisements and campaigns don’t let businesses get the desired outcome when they lack it. In addition to this, there can be problems with quality. Moreover, anything that is enhancing the gap between a customer and an organization is nothing but the problems businesses usually face.
22. Do you think different business models can create a challenge for the Business Analyst?
Well, it all depends on the credentials and skills of a professional in this domain. Although different businesses adopt different models that can highly impact the methods and other strategies, there are scenarios that are common among the different models that organizations are adopting these days.
23. What according to you is the biggest problem a newly established business can face?
Recognition in the market is something that is important. In the time when the competition is already there in every sector and there are major game players who have established themselves in the market need to have competed only through the strategies that are innovative. Also, business with new establishments generally doesn’t have access to technology.
24. As a business Analyst, what would be the first strategy that you will opt for when it comes to solving the problems?
A business analysis should have one supreme quality and i.e. the ability to lead a team and thus leadership matters a lot more than anything else. The good technical knowledge about the domain also largely matters. In addition to this, effective communication with others also eliminates a lot of barriers for businesses.
25. What according to you is the principle of solving problems that is related to a business?
Nothing matters more than patience. One of the common sayings is Rome was not built in a day. Thus, dedication and patience probably find an effective solution to a problem. A business analyst must know about this.
26. Do you think IT plays an important role in Business Analysis?
Of course, in the present time, everything is based on technology and without the same; it is not possible for businesses to get the best out of their investment. There are several technology tools that are helpful in this domain, and businesses should pay close attention to them and make sure those handling analysis tasks must have access to the same.
27. What is the significance of reporting in the Business Analysis according to you?
Reporting is the base of every action taken that can affect business. It simply lets the others pay close attention to the facts that need to be strengthening for enabling the businesses to keep up the pace. Because Analysis is a task that actually aims to find the best solutions to the issues a business is generally rating, there is always a need to explain the problems first and their causes. Reporting always makes sure that businesses can get the best out of the efforts with the help of reporting.
28. Do you think that a Business Analyst should have technical knowledge?
The Business Analyst has to access a lot of technology to find solutions to the problems concerned with the business. It is not always possible for them to depend on the other resources or employees for accessing the same. Thus, they must have good knowledge about the same. If a business analyst is from an IT background, there is nothing wrong to say that innovative solutions to the problems can also be assured by the organizations.
29. Can document assessment be a part of the business analysis?
It is one of the very important parts of the same. This is because the documents are the prime source of information for any professional dealing with the problem. The best part is that documents can sometimes provide information about the actions taken when the last time similar problems arrived. It can be judged whether the same strategies work again or they will impose a challenge.
30. What according to you is the best strategy to solve a problem?
Well, first of all, it is assured whether the same problem declared its presence in the past or it’s the first time the business is facing the challenge. If the problem is new, a close eye to be kept on the actions taken by the other businesses that faced it recently. Of course, this can derive a lot of useful information about the best possible actions that can be taken in a very reliable manner. The problem should completely be analyzed and assured that it wouldn’t transform itself in the shortest possible time. The advice from the team also largely matters.
