If you already have a robotic process automation (RPA) tool in your organization and you’re looking to get started with test automation, your RPA tool might seem like a logical choice. It’s usually relatively easy to automate some fundamental test scenarios (e.g., create a new user and complete a transaction), add validation, and believe that you’re on the path to automating your test function.
However, it’s important to recognize that successful—and sustainable— test automation requires much more than clicking through application paths.
