The Verify Expression with Operator activity is used to verify an expression by asserting it in relation to a given expression with an operator1. The expressions tested with this activity must be inserted in their respective property fields. In this case, the activity is configured to verify if the expression “1” is equal to the expression “2”. The result of this verification is stored in the Result property, which reflects the state of the verification activity1. If the verification fails, the activity throws a TestingActivitiesException, which is a custom exception type defined by the UiPath.Testing.Activities package2.

The Try-Catch activity is used to catch a specified exception type in a sequence or activity, and either displays an error notification or dismisses it and continues the execution3. The activity has three main sections: Try, Catches, and Finally. The Try section holds the activity or set of activities that could throw an exception. The Catches section indicates the exception type and holds the activity or set of activities to be performed when the specified exception is thrown. The Finally section holds the activity or set of activities to be performed after the Try and Catches blocks are executed, regardless of the result3.

In this scenario, the Verify Expression with Operator activity is placed in the Try section of the Try-Catch activity. The Catches section has two exceptions caught: System.Exception and TestingActivitiesException. The Finally section is empty. During the execution of the sequence, the Verify Expression with Operator activity will throw a TestingActivitiesException, because the expressions 1 and 2 are not equal. The Try-Catch activity will catch this exception and enter the TestingActivitiesException sequence from the Catches section, where the appropriate actions can be performed to handle the error. Therefore, the correct answer is C. The Exception sequence from the Catches block within the Try-Catch activity will be entered first, after the Verify Expression with Operator activity is executed.

The other options are incorrect because:

• Option A is incorrect because the Try-Catch activity will execute one of the blocks within the Catches section, depending on the type of exception thrown by the Verify Expression with Operator activity. In this case, the TestingActivitiesException sequence will be executed.
• Option B is incorrect because the Finally block within the Try-Catch activity will be executed only after the Try and Catches blocks are executed, not before. The Finally block is used to perform any cleanup or final actions that are needed regardless of the outcome of the Try and Catches blocks3.
• Option D is incorrect because the TestingActivitiesException sequence from the Catches block within the Try-Catch activity will be entered second, not first, after the Verify Expression with Operator activity is executed. The first block to be entered is the Try block, where the Verify Expression with Operator activity is placed.

The purpose of the Interval filter in the Orchestrator’s Monitoring page is to allow you to control the granularity of the displayed data and check the health of your system in either the last day or the last hour. The Monitoring page provides various metrics and charts that show the status and performance of your robots, processes, queues, and transactions. The Interval filter lets you choose the time frame for the data that you want to see. You can select either the last day or the last hour as the interval. The data will be updated accordingly and show you the trends and changes in your system over the selected period. This can help you identify any issues or anomalies and take corrective actions if needed. 

Custom log fields are additional fields that can be added to the Robot Execution Logs using the Add Log Fields activity1. The REFramework is a template for creating robust and scalable automation projects that uses the State Machine workflow type2. The REFramework leverages the custom log fields feature to include more information about each transaction in the log messages, such as the transaction number, the transaction item, the business process name, etc. This helps to improve the reporting and troubleshooting capabilities of the automation project, as the custom log fields can be easily viewed and filtered in the Output panel, the Orchestrator Logs page, or any external logging tool3.

Option A is incorrect, because custom log fields are not used to automatically retry failed transactions, but rather to provide more details about them. The REFramework uses the Retry Scope activity and the Set Transaction Status activity to handle the retry mechanism for failed transactions4. Option B is incorrect, because custom log fields are not used to store sensitive information, but rather to enhance the log messages. Storing sensitive information like credentials and personal data of users in the log fields is not recommended, as it may pose a security risk. Option C is incorrect, because custom log fields are not used to define the variable types for transactions, but rather to add more data about them. The REFramework uses the TransactionItem argument to store the transaction data, which can be of any type, such as QueueItem, DataRow, String, etc.

The default URL of the OCR server that runs the Computer Vision service is https://cv.uipath.com/. The Computer Vision service is a cloud-based service that provides OCR and AI capabilities for UiPath automation projects. The service can be accessed by using the Computer Vision activities in UiPath Studio, such as CV Screen Scope, CV Click, CV Type Into, and more. The service requires an API key and a URL to connect to the OCR server. The default URL is https://cv.uipath.com/, but it can be changed to a custom URL if the developer has a self-hosted OCR server. The API key can be obtained from the UiPath Automation Cloud portal or from the UiPath Marketplace.  References: [About Computer Vision], [Computer Vision Activities]

When the data is not accessible, the created table displays only the header row, and processing for that client must be halted, a BusinessRuleException occurs. A BusinessRuleException is a type of exception that indicates a business logic error or a validation error that cannot be resolved by retrying the transaction. For example, if the input data is incorrect, incomplete, or outdated, a BusinessRuleException should be thrown. A BusinessRuleException can be thrown by using the Throw activity with the following expression:

VB New BusinessRuleException(“Message”) where Message is a string that describes the error. A BusinessRuleException can be caught by using the Catch activity with the following expression:

VB ex As BusinessRuleException where ex is a variable that stores the exception object. A BusinessRuleException can be handled differently from other types of exceptions, such as SystemException or ApplicationException, depending on the logic of the automation. For example, in the REFramework, a BusinessRuleException sets the status of the transaction item to Failed and does not retry the transaction, whereas a SystemException sets the status of the transaction item to Retry and retries the transaction up to a specified number of times. References: [BusinessRuleException], [Throw], [Catch], [REFramework]

A pre-requisite for running functional test cases in REFramework is to invoke the InitAIISettings XAML file. This file is responsible for initializing the AI Fabric settings and connecting to the Orchestrator. It also checks if the AI Fabric environment is ready and if the ML skills are deployed and available. Without invoking this file, the functional test cases that use AI Fabric features will not work properly. References: [REFramework for AI Fabric]

The purpose of the Invoke Code activity in UiPath is to invoke VB.NET or C# code, optionally passing it a list of input arguments. The Invoke Code activity allows the developer to write and execute custom code in VB.NET or C# within a UiPath workflow. The Invoke Code activity has a Code property, where the developer can enter the code to be executed. The Invoke Code activity also has an Arguments property, where the developer can specify the input and output arguments for the code. The Invoke Code activity can be useful for performing complex calculations, manipulating data, or integrating with external libraries or applications that are not supported by the existing UiPath activities. References: [Invoke Code]

The Add Log Fields activity adds custom log fields to the Robot Execution Logs, which are included in every Log Message execution throughout the entire workflow1. The custom log fields can be useful for adding more information and visibility to the logs, especially for transactional data processes2. However, the custom log fields are not permanent and can be removed by using the Remove Log Fields activity, which takes the name of the custom log field as an input1. The Remove Log Fields activity is usually placed at the end of a transaction, to reset and remove the custom log fields for the next transaction2. Therefore, the custom log fields will stop being added to the robot execution logs when a Remove Log Fields activity is used to remove them.

Orchestrator alerts are real-time notifications related to robots, queue items, triggers, and more. Alerts can have one of the following severity levels, which indicate the importance and impact of the events1:

• Info - notifies you about low importance events, that do not interrupt the process execution, such as robots becoming available, users being assigned as reviewers, etc.
• Success - notifies you about a successful status, such as a job being completed, a queue item being processed, etc.
• Warn - notifies you about possible risky events that may interrupt your process execution, but any interruption can be recovered, such as queue items failing with business exceptions, triggers not being able to create new jobs, etc.
• Error - notifies you about imminent risky events that prevent the process from executing successfully, such as jobs failing, robots not responding, queue items failing with application exceptions, etc.
• Fatal - notifies you about events that force-stop the process execution, such as robots going offline or being disconnected, etc.

Option A is the correct answer, as it lists the five severity levels of Orchestrator alerts as defined in the documentation1. Option B is incorrect, because there is no Critical severity level, but rather Fatal. Option C is incorrect, because there are no Information, Complete, or Failure severity levels, but rather Info, Success, and Fatal. Option D is incorrect, because there are no Completed or Fatal severity levels, but rather Success and Fatal.

The TransactionNumber is incremented only in the SetTransactionStatus.xaml workflow, which is invoked at the end of each transaction. This workflow updates the status of the current transaction item in Orchestrator and increments the TransactionNumber by one. The TransactionNumber is used to keep track of the number of transactions processed by the robot and to get the next transaction item from the queue. References: [SetTransactionStatus.xaml]

The service mode is recommended for running unattended automations in UiPath. This mode allows robots to run without needing a user to be logged in, making it ideal for unattended scenarios.

When installing UiPath Studio, the action that requires administrator privileges is installing the robot in service mode. Service mode is a type of robot installation that allows the robot to run unattended automations in the background, without requiring a user to be logged in. Service mode requires administrator privileges because it involves installing the robot as a Windows service and registering it to the UiPathOrchestrator.msi file. Installing the robot in user mode does not require administrator privileges, because it involves installing the robot as a Windows application and registering it to the UiPathAssistant.msi file. User mode is a type of robot installation that allows the robot to run attended automations in the foreground, requiring a user to be logged in. Installing UiPath Studio itself does not require administrator privileges, because it involves installing the Studio as a Windows application and registering it to the UiPathStudio.msi file. References: [Robot Installation Modes], [Installing the Robot], [Installing Studio]

In UiPath Integration Service, a trigger will be automatically disabled upon failure under specific conditions to prevent continuous failure and unnecessary resource consumption. This typically happens when the job associated with the trigger fails to start after a predefined number of attempts for a single event, or when it consistently fails to start across a series of events. The condition of failing to start after 3 attempts for a single event or not starting for the last 25 events is designed to safeguard against persistent issues that could disrupt the automation flow or lead to resource wastage.References:

• UiPath Integration Service Documentation: Triggers and Events

The Alerts panel in UiPath is a feature designed to notify users about different types of alerts or events that occur within the UiPath ecosystem, especially within the Orchestrator. These can range from job failures, trigger notifications, to queue item alerts.

The best description of the Alerts panel, considering typical functionality within such systems, would be:

B. A panel that displays summaries of the alerts you subscribed to, received as error reports every ten minutes, or as daily reports.

This option suggests that the Alerts panel provides a curated view of alerts based on subscriptions, which can be configured for error reports at specified intervals or for aggregate daily reports, making it a more proactive and user-specific feature.

The other options either describe a panel with too broad a scope (A), suggest real-time alerting without the context of user subscriptions (C), or limit the display to only the most severe alerts without mention of subscription or reporting features (D).

In UiPath Studio, you can use DateTime and TimeSpan variables to store and manipulate date and time values. A DateTime variable represents a specific point in time, such as the current date and time, or a date in the past or future. A TimeSpan variable represents a time interval, such as one hour, two days, or three weeks.

To show what hour was 12 hours prior to the date from the variable, you can use the AddHours method on the DateTime variable and pass a negative value. For example, if you have a DateTime variable called CurrentDate that stores a date and time value, you can write:

CurrentDate.AddHours(-12).Hour

This expression returns an integer value that is the hour component of the DateTime value that is 12 hours before the CurrentDate value. For example, if CurrentDate is 2024-02-08 10:51:49, then the expression returns 22.

The other options are not correct expressions for showing what hour was 12 hours prior to the date from the variable. Option A is invalid, because the DateTime class does not have an AddHours method. Option C is incorrect, because the DateTime variable does not have a SubtractHours method. Option D is incorrect, because the DateTime class does not have a SubtractHours method.

The Test Explorer panel in UiPath Studio shows information relevant to test automation, such as test cases, test results, and activity coverage1. You can use the Test Explorer toolbar to filter test results based on result state, and to run or debug test cases using various options1. According to the UiPath documentation12, the available actions in Test Explorer are:

• Refresh: Refresh the information shown in the Test Results panel.
• Clear execution results: Clear all execution results shown in the Test Explorer Panel.
• Run All in View: Run tests that are currently in view through all filters.
• Run All: Run all test cases and workflows.
• Run Selected: Run only selected test cases and workflows.
• Run Failed Test Cases: Run only failed test cases.
• Debug Selected: Debug only selected test cases and workflows.
• Debug Failed Test Cases: Debug only failed test cases.
• Repeat Last Test Run: Run the latest test.
• Passed Test Cases: Show only test cases that have passed.
• Failed Test Cases: Show only test cases that have failed.
• Not Executed Test Cases: Show only test cases that have not been executed.
• Filter by Covered/Uncovered Activities: Choose whether to show in the Designer panel the activities that have been covered during the execution.
• Filter by Test Cases/Workflows: Choose what to show in the Test Explorer panel.
• Search Tests: Use the search function to look for test case names.

As you can see, there is no action called Run Passed Test Cases in Test Explorer, so this is the correct answer to the question.

 The project structure that is best-suited for complex processes in UiPath Studio, following UiPath best practices, is State Machine. A State Machine is a type of workflow that consists of a set of states, transitions, and triggers. A state represents a stage of the process, a transition represents a change from one state to another, and a trigger represents a condition or an event that activates a transition. A State Machine is suitable for complex processes because it can handle multiple paths and branches, depending on the logic and the triggers of the workflow. A State Machine can also handle loops and retries, as well as parallel execution of states. A State Machine can be created by using the State Machine activity in UiPath Studio, or by using the REFramework template, which is based on a State Machine structure. References: [State Machines], [REFramework]

The Verbose logging level includes the following information by default:

• Execution Started log entry - generated every time a process is started.
• Execution Ended log entry - generated every time a process is finalized.
• Transaction Started log entry - generated every time a transaction item is obtained by the robot from Orchestrator.
• Transaction Ended log entry - generated every time the robot sets the transaction status to either Success or Failed.
• Activity Information log entry - generated every time an activity is started, faulted or finished inside a workflow.
• Arguments and Variables Information log entry - show values of the variables and arguments that are used.

The Verbose logging level is the most detailed one and it is useful for debugging purposes, as it provides a lot of information about the execution flow and the data used by the robot. However, it also generates a lot of log entries, which can affect the performance and the storage space of the robot and Orchestrator. References: [Logging Levels]

The GetTransactionData step should be mocked from the end-to-end test case in order to retrieve test data. Mocking is a technique of substituting a part of the system with a fake counterpart, usually for testing purposes1. The GetTransactionData step is responsible for fetching the next transaction item from the queue and assigning it to the TransactionItem argument2. By mocking this step, the developer can avoid interacting with the actual queue and provide a predefined transaction item for testing. This can make the test more predictable, focused, and isolated from external dependencies.

Option A is incorrect, because the SetTransactionStatus step should not be mocked, as it is used to update the status of the current transaction item in the queue, which is an important part of the end-to-end test case2. Option C is incorrect, because the Process step should not be mocked, as it contains the core business logic of the automation, such as navigating to the Reservations section, adding the reservation data, and closing the current reservation2. Option D is incorrect, because the InitAllApplications step should not be mocked, as it is used to log in to the company’s desktop application, which is a necessary precondition for the end-to-end test case2.

When a breakpoint is placed at a particular activity within the workflow and the Step Over function is used, the Executor will move to the next activity in the sequence. Given the context of the REFramework, after stepping over the "Invoke InitAllSettings" workflow, the next activity that would execute is the "If in_OrchestratorQueueName ..." activity, assuming there are no activities in between within the "InitAllSettings" workflow itself. Step Over will not go into the invoked workflow but will move to the next activity at the same level of the workflow where the breakpoint was placed.References:

• UiPath Studio Guide: Debugging

In a UiPath State Machine, the Trigger section of a State activity is used to specify the condition or event that initiates a transition from the current state to another state.

In the REFramework (Robotic Enterprise Framework), the initialization of all required applications should ideally be done in the 'InitAllApplications.xaml' file. This helps in keeping the project organized and maintains a standard structure.

The value of the qty variable will be 80 after executing the Assign activity. This is because the expression in the Assign activity is using the LINQ methods AsEnumerable, SkipWhile, and Item to access the data in the dt variable. The dt variable is a DataTable that contains the following data:

Item

Quantity

apple

5

banana

10

mango

20

orange

80

grape

40

The AsEnumerable method converts the DataTable into an Enumerable collection of DataRow objects. The SkipWhile method skips the elements of the collection until the condition is false. The condition is a lambda expression that checks if the value of the Item column is equal to “mango”. The (0) indexer returns the first element of the collection after skipping. The Item method accesses the value of the Quantity column of the DataRow. The ToString method converts the value into a string. Therefore, the expression will skip the first three rows of the DataTable and return the value of the Quantity column of the fourth row, which is 80. References: [DataTable.AsEnumerable Method], [Enumerable.SkipWhile Method], [DataRow.Item Property]

In a UiPath REFramework project, the primary purpose of using Custom Log Fields is to add specific contextual information to log messages that are relevant to the automation process. Custom Log Fields are created using the Add Log Fields activity, which adds custom log fields to the Robot Execution Logs. The new log fields created via this activity are added for every Log Message execution throughout the entire workflow, unless a Remove Log Fields activity is used. Custom Log Fields can help you to maintain contextual insights within log messages, such as the business process name, the transaction data, the transaction status, or any other information that can help you to monitor, analyze, or debug the automation process. Custom Log Fields can also enhance the readability and consistency of log messages, as well as facilitate log filtering and reporting. 

In the context of a linear process, implemented with REFramework, the process will enter the Get Transaction Data state only 1 time. This is because the Get Transaction Data state is responsible for fetching the next transaction item from the data source and assigning it to the TransactionItem variable. In a linear process, there is only one transaction item that represents the entire process, and it is fetched at the beginning of the execution. Therefore, the process will enter the Get Transaction Data state only once, and then move to the Process Transaction state, where the main logic of the process is executed. The process will not return to the Get Transaction Data state, unless there is an exception or a retry in the Process Transaction state. References: [Robotic Enterprise Framework], [REFramework for Linear Processes]

Logging a message with the "Info" level is appropriate every time data is read from external sources. This helps in tracking the flow of data and understanding the sequence of operations in the automation process.

UiPath Integration Service is a component of the UiPath Platform that allows users to automate third-party applications using both UI and API integration. It has the following primary functions1:

• Enables automation with a library of connectors: Connectors are pre-built API integrations that provide a consistent developer experience and simplify the integration process. Users can browse and import connectors from the Connector Catalog or the UiPath Marketplace, or create their own connectors using the Connector Builder (Preview).
• Manages connections easily with standardized authentication: Users can create and manage secure connections to various applications using standardized authentication methods, such as OAuth 2.0, Basic, API Key, etc. Users can also share connections with other users, groups, or automations within the UiPath Platform.
• Kicks off automations with server-side triggers or events: Users can trigger automations based on events from external applications, such as webhooks, email, or schedules. Users can also configure parameters and filters for the events to customize the automation logic.
• Provides curated activities and events: Users can access a set of curated activities and events that are specific to each connector and application. These activities and events can be used in UiPath Studio or UiPath StudioX to design and execute automations.
• Simplifies automation design: Users can leverage the UiPath Integration Service Designer to create and test integrations in a graphical interface. Users can also import common API formats, such as Swagger, YAML, or Postman collections, to generate connectors automatically.

The REFramework (Robotic Enterprise Framework) in UiPath is designed to work with transactional data. For a process that involves iterating over a DataTable where each row represents a transaction item, the appropriate variable type for the TransactionItem would be a DataRow.

In the context of REFramework, a DataRow is typically used to represent a single transaction item when the transaction data is contained within a DataTable. This allows the framework to process each row (or transaction) one by one.

Therefore, the correct variable type for the TransactionItem from the drop-down list should be DataRow.

A state machine is a type of automation that uses a finite number of states in its execution. It can go into a state when it is triggered by an activity, and it exits that state when another activity is triggered1. A state machine consists of states, transitions, and actions1. The components that define a state within a state machine in UiPath Studio are:

•Entry Actions: These are the activities that are executed when the state is entered1. For example, an entry action can be used to initialize a variable, display a message, or log some information1.

•Exit Actions: These are the activities that are executed when the state is exited1. For example, an exit action can be used to clean up some resources, close an application, or update a status1.

•Transition Actions: These are the activities that are executed when a transition from one state to another occurs1. For example, a transition action can be used to assign a value, send an email, or invoke a workflow1.

•Trigger Conditions: These are the conditions that determine when a transition from one state to another should happen1. For example, a trigger condition can be based on a variable value, a user input, or a timer1.

To print the elements of a string array separated by a specific string, the String.Join method is used in C#. This method takes two parameters: the first is the separator string and the second is the array to join into a single string.

Given the options and the requirement to separate array elements with a comma and a space (", "), the correct expression to use in a Log Message activity would be:

C. String.Join(", ", UserNames)

This will produce a single string with each element of the UserNames array separated by ", " (a comma followed by a space).

In UiPath Testing Activities, the "Verify Expression" activity is designed to evaluate expressions and can include other activities within its body. This feature is particularly useful in test cases where you need to assert the outcome of a specific expression or condition. By embedding other activities within the "Verify Expression" activity, users can execute additional actions or checks as part of the verification process, enhancing the flexibility and depth of testing scenarios within UiPath projects.References:

• UiPath Documentation: Testing Activities Guide

When expanding the functionality of a workflow to compute the sum of three numbers instead of two, and having to update the test data in an Excel file accordingly, you would generally need to:

• Open the Excel file that contains the test data.
• Add a new column for the third number (e.g., Number3).
• Fill in the data for the new column with the appropriate values for the test cases.
• Save the Excel file with the updated data.
• Refresh or update the data source in the test case to reflect these changes.

This is because "Refresh Test Data" suggests that the test case will re-import or re-read the test data from its source, which in this case is the updated Excel file with the additional Number3 column. "Update Test Data" might also seem appropriate, but it typically refers to a scenario where you need to update the test case's reference to the data, not the structure of the data itself. "Add Test Data" and "Remove Test Data" are not appropriate as they imply adding a new data set or removing an existing one, rather than refreshing or updating the existing data set with the new column.

The Exit action in a state is an activity or a sequence of activities that are executed when the state is exited, before the transition to the next state occurs1. The purpose of the Exit action is to perform any final actions of the current state, such as closing applications, releasing resources, logging information, etc. The Exit action is executed even if the state transitions back to the same state2.

Option A is incorrect, because the Exit action does not stop the state machine’s execution, but rather prepares the state for the next transition. Option C is incorrect, because the Exit action does not revoke any entry actions, but rather complements them with any necessary exit actions. Option D is incorrect, because the Exit action does not define the conditions for the state transition, but rather executes after the conditions are evaluated.

The screenshot shows an "Invoke Code" activity in UiPath with the following VB.NET code:

Users_List.Add("User1")

Users_List.Add("User2")

According to the given information, the "Users_List" variable is a List of Strings that has been initialized with an empty list before the Invoke Code activity is run. The code within the Invoke Code activity is adding two strings: "User1" and "User2" to the "Users_List".

The Log Message activity following the Invoke Code is attempting to log the count of items in "Users_List", which would be the number of elements contained in the list at that time.

Given the steps that have been described, after the Invoke Code activity has run, the "Users_List" will contain two elements ("User1" and "User2"). Therefore, the log message will print the count of items in the list, which is:

B. 2

So the correct answer is B, as the "Users_List" will have two elements and Users_List.Count will return the number 2.

The Invoke Code activity is used to execute VB.NET or C# code within a UiPath workflow1. The activity has the following properties:

• Code: The code that is to be executed. This field supports only strings and String variables1.
• Language: The language that the code is written in. The available options are VBNet and CSharp1.
• Arguments: The parameters that can be passed to and from the code1.

In this question, the developer has created a variable of type List of Strings named “Users_List”, and initialized it with an empty list: “Users_List = new List(Of String)”. Then, the developer has used the Invoke Code activity to execute the following code:

Users_List.Add(“User1”) Users_List.Add(“User2”)

This code adds two items (“User1” and “User2”) to the “Users_List” variable. After the Invoke Code activity, the developer has used the Log Message activity to print the count of items in the “Users_List” variable, using the expression “Users_List.Count.ToString”. This expression returns the number of items in the list as a string2. Therefore, the log message will print “2”, as there are two items in the list

The processing sequence for queue items in UiPath Orchestrator is determined primarily by the deadline and priority of each item. Items with an earlier deadline are processed first. If multiple items have the same deadline, then priority determines the order: High, Normal, then Low.

Following this logic, the processing sequence would be:

1st: Deadline = 10/04/2023 Priority = LowSince this is the only item with the deadline of the current day (assuming today is 10/04/2023), it should be processed first regardless of its priority.

2nd: No deadline Priority = HighAlthough this item has no deadline, its high priority places it next in the sequence after items with a deadline for the current day.

3rd: Deadline = 10/05/2023 Priority = HighThis item is next due to its combination of an imminent deadline and high priority.

4th: Deadline = 10/05/2023 Priority = NormalThis item has the same deadline as the third but a lower priority, so it comes next.

5th: Deadline = 10/06/2023 Priority = HighThis item, while high priority, has the latest deadline, so it is processed last.

So the order would be:

1st: Deadline = 10/04/2023 Priority = Low2nd: No deadline Priority = High3rd: Deadline = 10/05/2023 Priority = High4th: Deadline = 10/05/2023 Priority = Normal5th: Deadline = 10/06/2023 Priority = High

The percentages from the Test Explorer panel represent the passing percent of the test cases that are executed. The Test Explorer panel shows the status of each test case, the total number of test cases, the number of passed test cases, the number of failed test cases, and the passing percent. The passing percent is calculated by dividing the number of passed test cases by the total number of test cases and multiplying by 100. For example, if there are 10 test cases and 8 of them pass, the passing percent is 80%. References: Test Explorer

The graphics show a UiPath workflow that contains a Try Catch activity with a Type Into activity inside the Try block and a Log Message activity inside the Catch block. The Type Into activity is configured to type “Typing into Notepad” into a Notepad window with the selector “”. The Log Message activity is configured to log the exception message in the Output panel.

If the automation is executed and Notepad.exe is not running, the Type Into activity will fail to find the target UI element and throw an exception. The exception will be caught by the Catch block and the Log Message activity will log the exception message in the Output panel. The exception message will contain the name of the exception type, which is ApplicationNotFoundException. This exception is thrown when the application that is specified in the selector is not found or not running. Therefore, the Log Message text value that is contained in the Output panel is ApplicationNotFoundException.

The other options are not correct, as they are not the exception type that is thrown by the Type Into activity when the application is not running. Option A is incorrect, because Exception is a generic term for any error or problem that occurs during the execution of a program, not a specific exception type. Option C is incorrect, because Try is not an exception type, but a keyword that marks the beginning of a block of code that may throw an exception. Option D is incorrect, because SelectorNotFoundException is not an exception type, but a possible error message that is displayed when the selector is invalid or does not match any UI element.

In the REFramework, best practices suggest storing sensitive information like email account credentials in an Orchestrator Credential asset. This asset is then referenced in the Config.xlsx file, specifically in the Assets sheet, ensuring secure and centralized management of credentials.

Mock files in an automation project structure are usually stored in a separate folder named "Mocks". This organization helps in managing and accessing mock data efficiently during testing.

For a workflow that requires covering all possible cases and transitions, especially those not easily captured by loops and If statements, a State Machine layout is most suitable. It offers a flexible structure for complex workflows with numerous states.

To replace the functionality of the MessageBox with a LogMessage during mock testing, the developer can perform the action of Surround activity with mock. This action inserts a mock activity around the selected activity, which allows the developer to change the behavior of the activity for testing purposes. For example, the developer can right-click on the MessageBox activity and select Surround activity with mock from the dropdown menu. This will create a mock activity that contains the MessageBox activity. The developer can then edit the mock activity and replace the MessageBox activity with a LogMessage activity, which will write the message to the output panel instead of displaying it in a dialog box. This way, the developer can test the functionality of the workflow without having to interact with the MessageBox dialog box. References: [Mock Testing], [Surround Activity with Mock]

The queue that will be consumed by the robot is QueueB from FolderA. This is because the arguments passed from Orchestrator have priority over the settings from the Config file. Therefore, the value of in_OrchestratorQueueName overrides the value of OrchestratorQueueName, and the value of in_OrchestratorQueueFolder overrides the value of OrchestratorQueueFolder. However, since the value of in_OrchestratorQueueFolder is empty, the default folder where the process is published is used, which is FolderA1.

The other options are not correct, because they do not reflect the values of the arguments passed from Orchestrator. For example:

• Option A is incorrect, because the queue name is QueueA, not QueueB.
• Option B is incorrect, because the queue folder is Shared, not FolderA.
• Option D is incorrect, because the queue folder is Shared, not FolderA.

"Process A":

• The process is scheduled to run at 2:00 PM, but due to busy robots, it starts at 2:05 PM.
• The Schedule ending of Job execution feature is configured to stop the job after 20 minutes.
• Therefore, "Process A" will be stopped 20 minutes after it started, which is at 2:25 PM.

The REFramework (Robotic Enterprise Framework) is a template that provides a standard structure and best practices for developing UiPath automation projects. It uses the concept of transactions to process items from a data source, such as an Excel table, a queue, or a database. A transaction is a single unit of work that can be executed by the robot. The REFramework has a variable called TransactionItem, which stores the current transaction to be processed.

The variable type of TransactionItem depends on the type of data source that is used for the transactions. If the data source is an Orchestrator queue, then the TransactionItem should be of type UiPath.Core.QueueItem, which represents an item from the queue. If the data source is an Excel table, then the TransactionItem should be of type System.Data.DataRow, which represents a row from the table. A DataRow object contains the values of a single row in a DataTable object, which represents the entire table.

In this scenario, the developer needs to use the REFramework to automate a business process that involves processing transactions within an Excel table. Each transaction in the table should follow the same steps for processing and queues cannot be used as there is no Orchestrator in the environment. Therefore, the best variable type for TransactionItem in this scenario is System.Data.DataRow, as it can store a single row from the Excel table as a transaction.

The other options are not suitable variable types for TransactionItem in this scenario. Option A is incorrect, because UiPath.Core.QueueItem is used for queue items, not Excel rows. Option B is incorrect, because System.Data.DataRow[] is an array of DataRow objects, not a single DataRow object. Option C is incorrect, because System.Data.DataTable is a table of DataRow objects, not a single DataRow object.

The purpose of credential stores in UiPath Orchestrator is to securely store sensitive data such as Robot credentials and Credential Assets for use in automation processes. Credential stores are external services that provide encryption and protection for sensitive data. Orchestrator can integrate with various credential stores, such as CyberArk, Azure Key Vault, and HashiCorp Vault, and use them to store and retrieve the credentials for the Robots and the Credential Assets. Credential Assets are global variables that can store passwords, usernames, API keys, and other confidential information. By using credential stores, the developer can ensure that the sensitive data is not exposed or compromised, and that the automation processes can access the data securely and efficiently. References: [Credential Stores], [Credential Assets]

A sequential process is a type of process design that executes actions in a straightforward progression without iteration or branching. A sequential process is composed of a series of activities that are executed one after another, from top to bottom, in a linear fashion. A sequential process is best suited for simple scenarios when activities follow each other and there is no need for complex logic or decision making12.

The other options are not appropriate for an automation task that executes actions in a straightforward progression without iteration or branching, because they involve different types of process design that require more complex structures and logic. For example:

• A transactional process is a type of process design that executes actions on a set of data items, one at a time, in a loop. A transactional process is composed of a dispatcher that adds data items to a queue, and a performer that processes each data item from the queue and updates its status. A transactional process is best suited for scenarios when activities need to be repeated for each data item and there is a need for reliability and scalability34.
• An iterative process is a type of process design that executes actions repeatedly until a certain condition is met or a certain number of iterations is reached. An iterative process is composed of a loop that contains a set of activities and a condition that controls the exit of the loop. An iterative process is best suited for scenarios when activities need to be performed multiple times and there is a need for dynamic control of the execution flow56.
• A linear process is not a type of process design, but a term that refers to a process that has a clear start and end point, and a well-defined sequence of steps that lead to a specific outcome. A linear process can be implemented using different types of process design, depending on the complexity and logic of the steps involved7.

When creating a new test case in UiPath Studio, you can configure a data source that can be imported through arguments and used when running the test case. You can choose from different options for the data source, such as File, Data Service, Test Data Queue, and Auto Generate. Each option has different implications for how the test data is updated in UiPath Orchestrator once the test case is published.

The option that restricts dynamic data update in UiPath Orchestrator once the test case is published is File. This option allows you to use Excel and CSV files as data sources for your test cases. When you import a file as a data source, a JSON file is created in the Test Data folder of your project, which contains the test data values. When you publish the test case, the JSON file is also published and stored in Orchestrator. The test data values are not updated dynamically in Orchestrator, unless you manually update the test data by choosing the Update Test Data option in Studio or Test Explorer. This option is useful when you want to use static or predefined test data that does not change frequently.

The other options do not restrict dynamic data update in UiPath Orchestrator once the test case is published. Option A, Test Data Queue, allows you to use a queue in Orchestrator as a data source for your test cases. You need to configure a JSON schema and add a test data queue in Orchestrator before using this option. The test data values are updated dynamically in Orchestrator, as the queue items are processed by the test case. This option is useful when you want to use queue items as test data and track their status and progress. Option B, Data Service with Filter, allows you to use Data Service entities as data sources for your test cases. Data Service is a feature of Automation Cloud that lets you create and manage data entities and relationships. You need to select an entity and apply a filter using the Query Builder before using this option. The test data values are updated dynamically in Orchestrator, as the entity records are modified by the test case or other processes. This option is useful when you want to use data entities as test data and perform CRUD operations on them. Option D, Auto Generate, allows you to use test data that is automatically generated by UiPath Studio to cover as many paths as possible during execution. You need to select a test data generation strategy and a number of test data sets before using this option. The test data values are updated dynamically in Orchestrator, as the test case is executed with different data sets. This option is useful when you want to use random or diverse test data that can increase the test coverage and quality.

on the prerequisite for performing Remote Debugging using an Unattended Robot connection:

• The prerequisite is that Studio and the remote robot must be connected to the same Orchestrator tenant. This ensures that Studio can communicate with the remote robot for debugging purposes. While having the same version and TCP/IP connectivity is beneficial, the key requirement for remote debugging is the connection to the same Orchestrator tenant.

The states that will be executed without errors when a developer runs a process using the REFramework, with the process utilizing Orchestrator queues and a queue already created with the Name provided and the Auto Retry function disabled, are Initialization, Get Transaction Data, Process Transaction, and End Process. The REFramework is a template that provides a robust and scalable structure for building automation processes. The REFramework consists of four main states: Initialization, Get Transaction Data, Process Transaction, and End Process. The Initialization state is responsible for initializing the application, reading the configuration file, and logging in to the Orchestrator. The Get Transaction Data state is responsible for fetching the next transaction item from the Orchestrator queue and assigning it to the TransactionItem variable. The Process Transaction state is responsible for executing the main logic of the process for the current transaction item. The End Process state is responsible for closing the application, logging out of the Orchestrator, and performing any cleanup actions. If the process utilizes Orchestrator queues and a queue already exists with the Name provided and the Auto Retry function disabled, then the process will be able to execute these states without errors, assuming that there are no other issues or exceptions in the workflow. References: [Robotic Enterprise Framework], [REFramework States]

In a UiPath State Machine workflow, the Transitions section of the State activity is used to specify conditional/triggers logic and multiple outgoing transitions in a state machine. Transitions are expanded when you double-click them, just like the State activity. They contain three sections: Trigger, Condition and Action, that enable you to add a trigger for the next state, or add a condition under which an activity or sequence is to be executed. Transitions are represented by arrows or branches between states. They define the flow of the state machine and the rules for moving from one state to another. You can add multiple transitions from a state, but only one transition can be taken at a time, based on the trigger or condition that is met first

Mock Testing is a concept that allows you to isolate and replace the input part of an attended RPA process, without modifying the original workflow. Mock Testing enables you to create a mock file of your workflow by selecting Mock workflow under test in the Create Test Case window. This creates a copy of your workflow with the name workflowName_mock and stores it in Project > Mocks. This folder mirrors the source workflow file tree structure. In the mock file, you can use the Surround with mock option to insert a mock activity that replaces the original input activity. For example, instead of asking the user to input a specific token, you can use a mock activity that assigns a predefined token value to a variable. This way, you can test the specific function of the process without having to enter the token manually every time. Mock Testing is useful for tests that have permanent effects in production or require special resources1.

The other options are incorrect because:

• Option A is incorrect because Application Testing is not a concept that can be used to isolate and replace the input part of an attended RPA process, without modifying the original workflow. Application Testing is a type of testing that focuses on verifying the functionality, usability, performance, and security of an application2.
• Option B is incorrect because Data-Driven Testing is not a concept that can be used to isolate and replace the input part of an attended RPA process, without modifying the original workflow. Data-Driven Testing is a type of testing that uses external data sources, such as Excel files or databases, to provide input values and expected results for the test cases3.
• Option D is incorrect because RPA Testing is not a concept that can be used to isolate and replace the input part of an attended RPA process, without modifying the original workflow. RPA Testing is a type of testing that involves using robots to automate the testing of other robots or applications.
