RPA Exam UPDATED Actual Exam
Questions and CORRECT Answers
Formal definition of RPA - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔"Robotic process automation (RPA)
tools perform 'if, then, else' statements on structured data, typically using a combination of
user interface (UI) interactions, or by connecting to APIs to drive client servers, mainframes
or HTML code."
RPA short definition - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔technology that enables a robot to execute
processes by emulating human interaction with computer applications
Does RPA mimic human actions? - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Yes, RPA tools are designed
to mimic the same "manual" paths taken by a human
RPA operates by mapping a process for the software "robot" to follow via computer pathways
and various data repositories, so RPA can operate in place of a human.
Some RPA features - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔-can be triggered manually or automatically
-moves or populates data between prescribed locations
- documents audit trails
-conducts calculations
-performs actions
- triggers downstream activities
RPA is utilized to... - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔automate processes... used to ASSIST or
REPLACE employees' tasks...
Does RPA use structured or unstructured data? - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Traditional RPA
deals with STRUCTURED data
What are the main factors that firms consider to invest in an RPA initiative? - CORRECT
ANSWER- ✔✔From PlayPosits:
(stability and predictability, volume and scale, complexity)
, From PPT:
• Decreased cycle time and improved throughput
• Detailed data capture (processes can be recorded and audited at every step)
• Increased employee morale (by releasing employees from repetitive, boring processes)
• Improved accuracy
• Flexibility and scalability
What are the three main components that can be found in most RPA software suites? (RPA
Architecture) - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔-process library of routines/scripts developed
-controller dashboard, allocates work to "bots"
-server-based runtime = pool of bots (allocation options and price vary)
*can be customized based on the needs of each organization
What is the potential for automation across industries? - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔-"45
percent of the activities individuals are paid to perform can be automated" -Mckinsey (cost
saving)
-"The list of actions that a robot is capable of performing can stretch to over 600 in some
solutions, and additional actions can often be custom created using code." -Deloitte
Who is the market leader in RPA software? - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔UiPath (27.1%
share)
-followed by Automation Anywhere (19.4%), and Blue Prism (10.3%) in third place
Unattended deployment versus attended deployment - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔-attended:
require a human to initiate the process through some form of trigger, computer is generally
unavailable while running
-unattended: run on schedule in the background without any human interaction
