RPA Testing Strategy

Same as with other software tests, RPA testing is done to ensure the smooth and correct functionality of the automated workflow that has been developed.
What are the best practices of RPA testing?
1. Break down the processes  
You should be aware of the precise components you will be evaluating before you begin your testing journey. If the process is too complicated, try splitting it up into smaller steps. This will increase the likelihood of perfecting each stage of a protracted procedure before moving on to the next one.
2. Make sure the data is usable
Let’s assume that the business automates the creation of new employee contracts using RPA. Whether you have programmed the bot to do so or not, you must ensure that the employee data kept in the company’s database is useable, structured, and in a machine-readable format (e.g., CSV, RDF, etc.).
Using inaccurate, wrongly formatted, or unstructured data would lead to inaccurate results that would not reflect the actual legitimacy of the bot. 
3. Go over the scripts   
For the successful completion of each task, the script should be error-free, clear, concise, and relevant to the task. You could consult the Process Definition Document (PDD) which outlines the as-is manual processes that are being automated. Cross-checking each step in the PDD with its script will minimize the possibility of skipped or overlooked steps. 
4. Test the workflow 
Next, you should test the execution of each step to see whether the bot is able to provide you with the expected result.
